Cormac McCarthy meets Killing Eve in this gritty, razor-sharp thriller following two indelible women on a path to certain destruction

Florence "Florida" Baum is not the hapless innocent she claims to be when she arrives at the Arizona women's prison-or so her ex-cellmate Diosmary Sandoval keeps insinuating.

Dios knows the truth about Florida's crimes, understands what Florence hides even from herself: that she was never a victim of circumstance, an unlucky bystander misled by a bad man. Dios knows that darkness lives in women too, despite the world's refusal to see it. And she is determined to open Florida's eyes and unleash her true self.

When an unexpected reprieve gives both women their freedom, Dios's fixation on Florida turns into a dangerous obsession, and a deadly cat-and-mouse chase ensues from Arizona to the desolate streets of Los Angeles.

With blistering, incisive prose, the award-winning author Ivy Pochoda delivers a fast-paced L.A. crime novel for the ages. Gripping and immersive, Sing Her Down is a spellbinding thriller that, at its core, shows just what an angry woman is capable of.mehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"Visceral descriptions of everything from the proliferation of homeless encampments to the simmering emotions of her characters distinguish Pochoda's latest, intense novel."
-Booklist

"In muscular prose, Pochoda plumbs the psychological depths of her fascinating characters and extracts high drama from their shifting allegiances. This searing, accomplished page-turner deserves a wide audience."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Ivy Pochoda's new novel, Sing Her Down, [is] a meditation on violence and women that is noir of the blackest variety."
-Sam Sifton, The New York Times e-newsletter

"Ivy Pochoda's new thriller sounds like a Western version of Killing Eve, which is something we never knew we needed but now need desperately."
-Book Page

"Ivy Pochoda is one of the great writers of today, crime or otherwise, although luckily for me, she writes pure noir . . . I will be spending my holidays reading this amazing new novel so that I can recommend it to you all in far more detail come the new year. You're welcome, my darlings (although reading this book is truly the opposite of sacrifice)."
-Molly Odintz, CrimeReads

"A thoroughly entertaining, mean-as-a-snake modern Western, Sing Her Down hits like a shotgun blast."
-Dennis Lehane, author of Small Mercies

"Sing Her Down is that rare novel that explodes your expectations from the very first page and goes on doing so until the end. Ivy Pochoda finds these characters at the root of their pain and desire. The prose is flayed and taut, the iconic episodes just keep stacking up, and the entirety has the epic intensity of a murder ballad." -Jonathan Lethem, author of The Arrest

"I read everything Ivy Pochoda writes. Her capture of the complexities, diversities, and insanities of today's life and culture is next to none. I loved Sing Her Down. The world will too." -Michael Connelly, author of Desert Star

"Urgent, haunting, and fearless, Ivy Pochoda's Sing Her Down has the grit and guile of Rachel Kushner, but with a ferocious empathy all Pochoda's own. Pochoda proves herself a singular portraitist of Los Angeles, and Sing Her Down is her most ambitious and accomplished novel yet." -Megan Abbott, author of The Turnout

"Ivy Pochoda once again writes with empathy about a world of unseen, unheard women-this time, two former cellmates whose lives remain entangled after their sudden release from prison. Sing Her Down is a stunning thriller, at once beautiful and gritty. Pochoda is a major talent." -Alafair Burke, The New York Times bestselling author of Find Me

"Sing Her Down is an incantation, a hallucination, a fiery odyssey of women taking back the power stolen and leached from body and mind, while their souls got harder and harder-like diamonds. Ivy Pochoda's women inhabit a world everyone should walk into with them, a universe everyone should know." -Susan Straight, author of Meccamehr
