| Summary |
"Mina Banksy, a 32-year-old writer and mother of a rambunctious toddler, is still reeling from a tumultuous divorce when two Chicago detectives show up at her door looking for her friend, Dylan. Or, more accurately, the van that she allowed him to register in her name, because Dylan, a friend from her former Jiu Jitsu gym, is a recovered addict and convicted felon. The van quickly becomes the least of her problems, as Dylan, too, is nowhere to be found. His disappearance triggers a series of events that turn everyone at the close-knit gym into suspects or potential victims, and somehow all roads lead back to Mina Banksy, and the scandal that forced her to leave the gym in the first place. With this novel, part unconventional romance and part murder mystery, set inside the eclectic subculture of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Zhanna Slor has cemented herself as one of the most original voices in contemporary fiction, and Breakfall with have you up all night turning the pages until the electric end"-- Amazon. |
