Jason Ginaff doesn’t get out much. Partly because of the anxiety, mainly because he works at home, researching people on the internet—job candidates doing party drugs on Instagram accounts they thought they’d deleted; the prospective new head of sales stripping for a ladies’ night . . .
He’s been searching for something on his own time, too. Now he’s found it: the phone number of the man he believes to be his father. Which is how he gets mixed up with Rudy Alamein—they’ve been looking for the same man. The difference being, Rudy wants to kill him.
Black Teeth is a witty, dynamic contemporary thriller by an emerging master of the form. It’s both a literary triumph and an irresistible read.
