“Money Shot is a stunner, careening along with a wild, propulsive energy and a deliciously incendiary spirit. Laced with bravado and loaded up with knockabout charm, Christa Faust’s Hard Case debut is the literary equivalent of a gasoline cocktail.” —Megan Abbott “An instant pulp classic.” —Rolling Stone “I was sucked into the tight, juicy Money Shot, from the ripping car trunk start to the hard-pumping climax. This novel is so convincing that you want to believe Faust has been an oversexed, naked killing machine, at least once.” —Vicki Hendricks “Money Shot is smart, stylish, insightful, fast-paced pulp fiction with razor-sharp humor and a kick-ass heroine. Christa Faust is a super crime writer.” —Jason Starr “Money Shot makes most crime novels seem about as exciting as the missionary position on a Tuesday night. The results are stunning.” —Duane Swierczynski “Wonderfully lurid, with attitude to spare and a genuine affection for the best of hardboiled traditions. Christa Faust is THE business.” —Maxim Jakubowski
