A Stitch in Crime

by Justin Robinson

Overview

Assembled from the corpses of six women, Jane Stitch is haunted by impulses she can't control and memories that aren't hers. When she returns to her hometown to solve the mystery of her creation, she finds herself drawn unwillingly into a war between rival gangs of monsters for control over the patch of desert she once called home.

Her creator, the only one who knows where she came from, has an agenda of his own and it doesn't include helping Jane put to rest the ghosts of her past lives. In the desert, among thundering herds of giant ants, in the shadow of a frozen blob, Jane is determined to solve the riddle of herself.

Or die trying.

About the Author

Much like film noir, Justin Robinson was born and raised in Los Angeles. He splits his time between writing and taking care of a small human. Degrees in Anthropology and History prepared him for unemployment, but an obsession with horror fiction and a laundry list of phobias provided a more attractive option. He is the author of more than 15 novels in a variety of genres including noir, humor, fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Most of them are pretty good.

Editorial Reviews

Robinson's tale is a treasure trove of monstrous delights and, despite Jane's gruesome origins, she proves an endearing lead. With its heady blend of noir and campy horror, this rollicking adventure doesn't disappoint.

Publishers Weekly

GoodReads - Kate Sherrod

As with all of Robinson's books, I loved the scene setting, the world-building details, the vibrant cast of characters, the pitch-perfect deadpan noir dialogue, and, of course, the jokes. // Hands down a stellar addition to the City of Devils series.
