Future Skinny - Peter Rosch

. .

Résumé :
For fans of Chuck Palahniuk, Joe Lansdale, Philip K. Dick, and Breaking Bad...this wholly original story of an anorexic man who sees the future by binge-eating is full of twists few readers, if any, will see coming. How will the world know you? Casey is a devoutly anorexic man who discovers he can see the future by binge-eating. The plan? Read futures for cash and make enough money to start a better life with his new girlfriend, Lylian, and her five-year old daughter. Oh, and stay thin at all costs while doing it. While testing the limits of this new power, Casey ignores a vision of Lylian committing a grisly murder. When that crime ends up happening, the two have no choice but to turn to Lylian's estranged husband, a dangerous West Texas gunrunner named David, for his help in cleaning up the mess she's made. In exchange for his help, Casey agrees to become David's personal psychic. But is that David's only motivation for bringing Casey and Lylian back into the fold of his criminal enterprise? Future Skinny is a neo-noir psychological thriller about power, love, family, and the dark deeds we thought we'd never carry out in order to have, keep, and even create the life we believe we deserve.
