A cannibal is recruited to assist catch a serial killer.
A lot because it hurts him to confess it, and for causes he doesn’t
expose, Timothy Blake will inform you he is a cannibal. In actual fact, his dietary
desire, corresponding to it’s, informs his livelihood: He disposes of our bodies for Charlie
Warner, one in every of Houston’s hardest gangsters. In the midst of celebrating
this marriage of meals and performance, Blake occurs upon an unauthorized corpse
proper the place he was to obtain his subsequent task from Charlie; he places it in
his freezer, and issues quickly spin uncontrolled. First, Charlie sends two
of her heaviest heavies to fetch Blake for questioning. Why had he left the
drop-off location, leaving a big corpse within the trunk of the mistaken automotive? Nicely,
it is due to that different corpse, however Blake would not need Charlie
to learn about that. After which Reese Thistle from the FBI exhibits as much as ask
him to assist examine a disappearance, and Blake quickly realizes the
lacking man is the physique in his freezer. Thistle, it seems, was Blake’s
“handler” when he labored for the FBI, and actually their historical past goes
again to their days in foster care. Blake at one time had emotions for Thistle
however had pushed her away lest his appetites get the higher of him. Her
reappearance is unsettling, and the 2 dance uneasily via an investigation
that will get sidetracked in a number of methods. Charlie shouldn’t be blissful her corpse-disposal
officer is swanning with the FBI and threatens to terminate Blake’s employment
completely; Blake realizes that the corpse in his freezer might convict him of
homicide; and the investigation uncovers proof of different murders. A messy
kidnapping-for-porn subplot occupies Blake and considerably distracts him from the
FBI’s agenda. And, oh sure! He and Thistle reconnect in conventionally fleshly
methods. Informed with vitality and humor, this darkish narrative is a bit overstuffed with
dire twists, however the characters of Blake and Thistle are sweetly robust and naïve.
A lovely romp via a fetid swamp, however not for weak
stomachs.
