The Fall Will Probably Kill You! (a love story)

"McMahon has concocted a taut thriller with twists and turns that start from the very beginning and don't let up. Most of all, he has created a memorable cast, none of whom is without flaws. . . . Something else he does well? He leaves us wanting more. . . . We can only hope the rest of their tale is forthcoming-and that it will be as good a read as this one." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A book as thoughtful and charming as it is entertaining. Finally a DC mystery I can actually care about." - Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author of Our Country Friends

A tale of power and manipulation, of fixation and delusion, The Fall Will Probably Kill You! (a love story) twists and turns its way to a daunting precipice.
"I was in awe of Charlotte and the man who brought her into the world. Everything within their reach, distorting reality until it fit their eye. And I was part of the fit. I was a piece, essential, loved."
