"Matt Howarth's first mainstream mystery thriller novel comes as a PDF
file on a CD with a 65 minute soundtrack of electronic music by Michael Chocholak.
The story: After years of anonymity, cult writer Bandit Double E has
decided to do a book signing. Reuniting with old college buddies, Bandit
embarks on a cross-country road trip to discover whether he has the
courage to face his adoring public. Unknown to him, his pilgrimage is
headed on a collision course with more weirdness and murder than found
in one of his thriller novels. Interspliced with this tale is one of
Bandit's novels, The Midas Disc, a twisted journey to recover a stolen
corporate CD. 225 pages, Adult material.
The music is highly infectious, uptempo electronics that blend agro
industrial styles with dancefloor sensibilities, producing a haunting
and harrowing soundtrack for the story."
Great novel. Very satisfying read. Solid plot with plenty of twists and turns and some very memorable characters. A different avenue to experiencing Matt's world and well worth the jump.
The soundtrack encompasses pulsing electronica, dreamy keyboards, an evocative soundscape, a road trip guitar piece that would make Steve Cropper grin, tight rhythms and piston bass lines - yes you can dance to a lot of this - it helps to be a bit twisted but you don't have to look like a Marcel Duchamp nude to think so - and a finale that ties it all together as the title suggests.
