Down-and-out ex-cop and not-quite-reformed addict Manny Rupert
accepts an undercover job to find out if a California prison inmate
is who he claims to be: Josef Mengele, aka the Angel of Death. Did
the sadistic legend, whose Auschwitz crimes still horrify, fake his
own death thirty years ago? Suddenly Manny finds himself in the
middle of a conspiracy involving genocide, drugs, eugenics, human
experiments, and America's secret history of collusion with the
Nazis--all while careening from one extreme of apocalypse-adjacent
reality to the other.
Not for the faint of heart, Jerry Stahl's "Pain Killers"
hurtles readers into a disturbing, original, and alarmingly real
world filled with some of the strangest sex, most horrific
violence, and screaming wit ever found on the page.
