The Red Pill Confession - Paperback

by Warren Von (Author)

Roy Vance has everything. And he feels none of it.

A high-functioning sociopath with a Manhattan real estate empire, a Westchester estate, and a perfect family, Roy has spent thirty-eight years performing humanity without feeling it. When he meets Michelle Russo, a PhD-holding guidance counselor and barefoot tequila drinker who has recently put her abusive boyfriend in the trunk of his Mercedes, he discovers the only person who has ever made him feel something.

Together they become the Red Pill Killers. Cherry-red lipstick on apartment walls. Right thumbs in ziplock bags on kitchen tables. Powerful men disappearing into the East River.

But Roy is changing. A dead theology student's journal. An Orthodox church in Brooklyn. A priest who introduces him to a word he has never heard before: theosis. The transformation of a human being from the inside out.

The problem is that Michelle is still hunting.

And Roy's wife Sonia is about to discover that her husband is not having an affair. He has been disposing of bodies.

Propulsive, darkly funny, and emotionally devastating, THE RED PILL CONFESSION is a literary psychological thriller about the distance between who you are and who you are supposed to be, and what it costs to close it.

For fans of Gone Girl, The Secret History, and Silence by Shusaku Endo.
