From award-winning author Jon Bassoff, The Disassembled Man is a tight-paced and twisted thriller
Frankie Avicious is a hard-luck fellow with a sordid past. Living in a dreary meatpacking town, stuck in a loveless marriage, and spending his days slaughtering cattle, Frankie has nothing to look forward to but his next swallow of bargain whiskey. His wife is threatening to leave him, and the local sociopath is threatening to kill him. And then there’s Scarlett Acres, a stripper with a heart of fool’s gold. Frankie can’t stop thinking about her …
With the encouragement of a mysterious traveling salesman, Frankie sets out to reverse his destiny through a series of bizarre murders. The consequences of his brutality turn out to be far worse than even he could imagine.

“The Disassembled Man is remarkable for its ugliness. It’s hard to think of a book with a character as despicable as Frankie Avicious. This Jim Thompson on mescaline story is not for the faint of heart.”
(Independent Crime)“Bassoff has written sheer, nasty, beautiful prose with this book. The wince factor is high and the characters horridly riveting. The envelope has not just been pushed, but set on fire.”
(Crimespree Magazine)“The Disassembled Man is lean and mean…A true psycho-noir novel that leaves the reader to work out the truth behind events we can only see from the point of view of the protagonist…Taken as a whole, The Disassembled Man is a damn fine read; a brilliant and raw example of the Psycho Noir genre.”
(Crime Scene Scotland )“The power of this book—and it has considerable power—is that Bassoff never apologizes for his people or their story. An impressive and imposing debut.”
(Ed Gorman, author of The Poker Club)
