Synopsis

Veteran Joe Krueger is drifting in 1950s California when the sweet— and sexy — Ida rents him a room. Joe starts helping out around the boardinghouse, and the two marry. The honeymoon is over when a motel owner and her crippled husband turn up missing, a water softener salesman is shot, and workmen are digging holes in Joe Krueger’s basement. Based on the true story of Iva Kroeger and her husband Ralph, who were indicted for the murders of Mildred and Jay Arneson in 1962, Naughty culminates in a trial: Ida, whose crimes have (only just) begun to catch up to her, is at her zenith, pleading insanity and playing the part to the hilt. The reader learns Joe’s and Ida’s fates via excerpts from authentic court documents.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Told in a darkly comic, noir style and based on a true story, Monte Schulz's new prose novel, Naughty, tells the tale of a beautiful murderess and her smitten patsy of a husband on the loose in 1950's California. Schulz combines the exquisitely wrought language of his recent Jazz-Age trilogy with a straight-for-thethroat pulpy narrative- fans of Don DeLillo and Jim Thompson will not be disappointed.
