This thriller tells the story of a businessman who has a
stunning wife and a passion for poet, Rilke. He is
kidnapped by three characters: a red-necked white Brixton-
born man; a black woman with a cocaine habit; and a
psychopath.
In South London, an unlikely gang of kidnappers hatch a
plot. Nick, an ex-bouncer, Dex, a charismatic sociopath,
and Lisa, a motor-mouth junkle femme fatale. Their prey is
a powerful, local businessman with an obsession for the
poet Rilke. Thing is, each kidnapper has a very different
agenda. Which means it's only a matter of time before the
joking stops, and the ever threatening violence begins.
Rilke on Black is an eerie, crooked tale of sex, obsession
and betrayal. Ken Bruen's dark contemporary thriller
matches a razor sharp vernacular with a country music
soundtrack to create a truly intoxicating and original
mix.
