Hitman Anders and the meaning of it all : a novel Cover Image Book Book

Hitman Anders and the meaning of it all : a novel / Jonas Jonasson ; translated from the Swedish by Rachel Willson-Broyles.

Jonasson, Jonas, 1961- (author.). Willson-Broyles, Rachel, (translator.).

Summary:

Hitman Anders is doing small jobs for the big gangsters. Then his life takes an unexpected turn when he meets a female Protestant vicar, and a homeless receptionist at a former brothel. The three join forces and concoct an unusual business plan. Fast-paced and sparky, the novel follows these bizarre but loveable characters on their quest to create a New Church, with all of Sweden's gangsters hunting them. Along the way, it explores the entrepreneurial spirit and straightforward human stupidity - and underlying all of it, the tenuous hope that it's never too late start again.
