    Judson Law - Evil Men Die Alone...

    Tom Kidman wasn't afraid of dying, just of dying alone. He'd seen far too many men during the war pass to the great beyond with no family member or friend beside him. That and that alone was the only thing Tom was scared of. However, he thought that was the fitting way for an evil man to die. 
    Judson Law was a bounty hunter; fearless and mean as a snake. He had only one passion—his loyal four-legged furry companion, a mutt named Hudson. When Hudson was bitten by a rattler while saving Judson, Law took no time to get his only friend to the doctor, booting a patient out of the way so the doc could get right to work. 
    Kidman didn't take kindly to that fact, for the patient Law had insisted his dog be treated before was none other than Kidman's cousin. To Kidman and Law both, family came first. Kidman sought revenge for the outrageous treatment of his kin, leaving Judson Law bound and staked out for the buzzards. Hudson, in the throes of his last moments of life, saved his friend in the nick of time before death took him. It was then Law's turn for revenge.

    Megan and Kit met in their early twenties. Their friendship was intense, wild and true.  
    Years later, when Kit becomes desperately unwell, Megan tries to pull her old friend back from the precipice, navigating the difficulties of revisiting a relationship conceived in the great freedom of youth, whilst attempting to remain fully present in the messy beauty of her family life.  
    Kit is a story of the sumptuous complication – and precariousness – of life and relationships. It describes a call to intimacy in a state of emergency. It is a story of one life disrupted as another moves toward its end.  
    Told in a spare, winding prose-poem, with a voice reminiscent of Max Porter or Kae Tempest, Kit is a splintered, powerful work of empathy, friendship and unconditional love.
