Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All - Thryft
Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All - Thryft

Quirky adventure; faith, crime, and unexpected alliances.

If you're in the mood for an offbeat comedy with an unexpected trio, "Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All" could be a refreshing pick. The author has a knack for blending the absurd with moments of sharp insight, and this tale will likely have you contemplating the ludicrousness of life's twists. The unique concoction of a criminal, a vicar, and a receptionist in a slapstick caper offers laughs with a subtle nod to deeper questions about purpose and change.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Together they cook up an idea for a very unusual business that’s going to make them all a fortune – but then all of a sudden, and to everyone’s surprise, Anders finds Jesus . . .Anders’ sudden interest in religion might be good for his soul but it’s not good for business, and the vicar and the receptionist have to find a new plan, quick.As wildly funny and unexpected as The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared and The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden, this is a madcap, feel-good adventure about belief, the media – and the fact that it’s never too late to start again.
