Nausea

"A gritty, hard-edged tale with just the right amount of feeling makes this one hell of a story. All of Ed's gifts are on display here: fast pacing, memorable characters and brutal action that aren't easy to forget, but make for great reading." —Terrence McCauley, Award Winning Writer of Sympathy For The Devil, Prohibition, and Slow Burn

"In Nausea, Ed Kurtz explores whether damned souls can be redeemed. Filled with unspeakable evil, but also glimpses of humanity, Nausea is a poignant and imposing novel." —Jon Bassoff, author of Corrosion

"Ed Kurtz's Nausea grabs your attention like a cue stick to your eye, a garrote around your throat, and a rock crashing into the back of your head. If you're looking for that thriller featuring a hit man with a heart of gold, go look somewhere else. Kurtz—and his introspective killer-for-hire Nick—are so good at what they do, it might just make you sick." —Tim O'Mara, author of Crooked Numbers and Dead Red

"Though Nausea is—on its surface—a crime novel, Kurtz’s knack for existential horror imbues it with dreamlike surreality. The end result is a vertiginous trip through a purgatory of his protagonist’s own making, and a redemption tale that will keep you guessing until you turn the final page." —Chris Holm, author of The Killing Kind
