Brut

Across highways, motels, and anonymous cities, a professional assassin known only as the arbiter executes assignments with ritual precision. When a job in San Francisco fractures his control, past and present collide: war memories, intimacy he cannot keep, and a family summons he cannot refuse.

Brut is a bleak, lyrical road novel about masculinity, dissociation, and the machinery of violence-where anonymity is survival and self-knowledge may be fatal.
