"WOULD YOU COMMIT MURDER FOR YOUR ART?" Making love to Stella. It’s always on my mind. It follows me wherever I go. I can’t get enough of her. Can’t satiate the hunger, the desire, the addiction. But I’m also a writer. You might have seen my name around. Or perhaps not. There was a time I collected one rejection letter after the other. Editors said my prose was cold, lifeless, emotionless, and worst of all, lacking real life experience. I had thought that the love of my life, Stella, would be my muse. But as much as I lusted for her--as much as I’d became a slave to my desires for her--my prose still suffered. But then a beautiful young woman by the name of Tara came into my life. She made me an offer I could not possibly refuse. An offer to be her “handyman.” The job would involve murder, but it would also involve raw passion, and it would provide me with an experience that would be injected directly into my first novel. The novel that would eventually take New York City by storm. Savage Sins. Have I sold my soul to the devil only to become the writer I always dreamed about? Have I finally tamed my desires? Or have they only grown more intense as I’ve grown more famous and wealthy? Will more people die so that my words can live? Enter into my world and find out. Oh, and how should you address me? Just call me The Handyman. From New York Times bestselling and ITW Thriller Award winning author Vincent Zandri., comes the new daring, steamy romantic noir episodic drama for fans of Alexa Riley, J.L. Drake, E.L. James, and more. For fans of raw, sexy, mystery/ thrillers. Grab this pulse-pounding, intriguing read while it's hot! “Sensational...Masterful...Brilliant.” - New York Post

"I KILL. I KILL FOR ART'S SAKE." My obsession with Stella continued to haunt me, but I was quickly becoming just as obsessed with the women who belonged to a secret neighborhood society. It was an honor to be invited to their secret club, but when it led to one of the members asking me to kill her abusive husband in exchange for a handsome payout, I knew that I could not refuse. After all, it wasn’t the cash I was after, so much as the experience. Just like the first time I killed, I would get the material for a wonderful novel. The novel would propel me to the top of the charts. I would become rich and famous. Stella, my love and my muse, would be there every step of the way. Because, Stella wasn’t just a member of the secret club, she was the woman who started it. Every woman who belonged to it was becoming dependent on me, one way or another. I was their Handyman.

IT’S ONE THING TO KILL FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR ART. IT’S ANOTHER THING TO BE EXECUTED FOR IT. The day has arrived for New York Times blockbuster bestseller, prolific lover, and Handyman, Victor Casey, to be put to death by the State of New York. As the day progresses and the time he has left gets tighter and tighter, he is paid visits by the women he has loved and lost in The Sex Club. While the prison guards turn the other way as he enjoys the conjugal visits, he also looks back on both his life and the murders he committed, not as a killer, but as a Handyman and a writer who needs to experience what it’s like to take a man’s life before he can write convincingly about it. As he’s strapped the gurney in the Death Chamber, and the lethal injection begins, we are convinced it’s lights out for Vic Casey. Until fate once more intervenes and the execution becomes not the end, but the start of something far more insidious.
