Cosmopolis
On the spur of the moment, twenty-eight year old Manhattan self-made multi-billionaire Eric Packer decides he wants to get a haircut from his regular and longtime barber across town, a difficult journey today if only because of the traffic gridlock from three high profile but vastly different events taking place in the borough, including a wandering anarchist protest, they who largely use dead rats as their symbol of protest. Through his trek, Eric, most taking place in his stretch limousine, meets with several business associates - some with as esoteric job titles as Head of Theory - and personal acquaintances, including his several week bride, Elise, a wealthy woman in her own right with who he still has a somewhat distant relationship if only because they don't really know each other. The start of Eric's day ends much differently than the end as his personal fortune largely hinges on external forces in relation to a speculative currency transaction, and as he learns that someone is trying to kill him, who and for what reason he does not know.

From the Kill Pen
In the Spring of 2013, meatballs served in the restaurants at IKEA stores in Europe were found to contain an unadvertised ingredient - horse meat. Within a short period of time, it was discovered there were other global companies selling beef products containing up to 40% horse meat. The revelation shocked an unsuspecting public around the world, but didn't shock those in horse-related industries, who are privy to a disturbing underground pipeline of which most others are still completely unaware. Fact-driven and without gratuitous violence, Kill Pen exposes this pipeline that contributed to Europe's "Horsegate," which brings potentially toxic horse meat into food supplies around the globe, sometimes masked in 100% "beef" products. Ultimately, Kill Pen asks the essential questions: Should our nation's horses be slaughtered for human consumption? Are the economic and political forces driving the pipeline too strong? And... Are you sure you know what you're eating?
