From the wicked imagination of award-winning writer Warren Ellis comes DEAD PIG COLLECTOR, a love story with a classic Ellis twist. So while it might be a love story, it's also about killing people and disposing of their bodies in the most efficient manner possible.
DEAD PIG COLLECTOR introduces readers to Mister Sun, a very proficient businessman whose trade is the murder and spotless removal of human beings. Like any businessman, he knows each transaction is only as good as his client - and today's client, in Los Angeles, has turned out to be so dangerously stupid that Mister Sun's work and life are now in jeopardy...

It seems to be… Until he arrives at the intended target’s home to find a different mess to clean up than he expected.Amanda, said target, is interested in learning all the various processes of Mister Sun’s work. How does he break down a body, exactly? As she absorbs the details, a strange connection begins to build between the two of them. But can a happy ending be dealt from such grisly cards? With Dead Pig Collector, award-winning, bestselling author Warren Ellis delivers a signature twisted take on life, death, and love. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
