NOMINATED FOR A 2024 ANTHONY AWARD FOR BEST PAPERBACK!
“Aymar’s novels and short stories never travel the expected route, and No Home for Killers takes many sharp plot and character turns. When the dust settles, what’s left is an affecting tale of what we do for the ones we love.”
– The New York Times
“One of the most anticipated books of the year”
– CrimeReads
“The perfect gift for friends worried about spending the holidays with their relatives. Things could be worse.”
– Kirkus Reviews
“E.A. Aymar blends Shakespearian tragedy with street savvy for an engrossing and entertaining novel like none other you’ll read in his new book No Home for Killers. Lies, secrets, betrayals and delightfully, whacky humor plus the trials of romance fill Aymar’s novel. No Home for Killers takes on the killers of our era — big money, horrors against women, racism, and personal guilt with classic noir’s cool eye.
E.A. Aymar is a benchmark in noir fiction.”
– James Grady, legendary creator of Condor and author of This Train
The chilling story of two conflicted sisters, their murdered brother, and the secrets a family hoped they’d never have to face.
The murder of jazz musician and social activist Markus Peña doesn’t come as a surprise to his estranged sisters. Melinda and Emily Peña know their controversial brother had enemies. After all, even they hadn’t spoken to Markus since their mother’s funeral two years ago.
Who killed Markus? Was it someone trying to keep his latest protest song from publication? Was it the powerful and secretive uncle of his ex-girlfriend Rebecca? Or was it one of the other women Markus had callously abandoned?
To unravel the truth, Melinda and Emily must first face their own demons. Melinda, a former social worker, suffers from PTSD—haunted by the people she failed to help and unable to maintain meaningful relationships. Emily also pushes people away—afraid she’ll get hurt and afraid they’ll find out she’s Three Strikes: a masked vigilante who violently punishes abusive men.
Markus wasn’t a good man, but he was family. And it’s up to his sisters to uncover his lifetime of lies and the truth of his death.
Haunting, gripping, and relevant, No Home for Killers explores the conflicts that tear families apart—and the tragedies that force them back together.
