Serial killer satire: the new trend is official

Although that said, I think I’d need to see a fuller synopsis before I completely pass judgment on this deal:

Walter Satterthwait’s PERFECTION, a satirical novel about a serial

killer who fixates on murdering overweight women, to Ruth Cavin at

Thomas Dunne Books, by Peter Rubie at Peter Rubie Literary Agency (NA).

Satterthwait is a longtime vet of the genre, whose last novel was a continuation of his historical mystery series (and the first published in the US for quite a while.) PERFECTION, in fact, was first published in Germany last year by Goldmanns as SCHERENSCHNITTE (SCISSOR CUT).
