Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All

A madcap new novel from Jonas Jonasson, author of the #1 internationally bestselling The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared and The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden A gangster, a vicar, and a receptionist walk into a bar . . .Killer-for-hire Anders is fresh out of prison and trying to keep his head down when he meets two unlikely new business partners at a 1-star hotel: one, an atheist former Protestant vicar fired from her church, and the other the hotel s receptionist, the ruined grandson of an ex-millionaire. Together they cook up an idea for an enterprising venture involving Swedish gangsters that is set to make them all a fortune until, all of a sudden and to everyone s surprise, Anders finds Jesus. The perfect plan if it weren t for Hitman Anders s curiosity about the meaning of it all. In conversations with the vicar, he turns to Jesus and, against all odds, Jesus answers him! Anders s 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 Jonasson s previous bestselling novels, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is a zany, feel-good adventure story, tenderly and hilariously exploring belief, redemption, and the fact that it s never too late to start again.
