The book was first published on October 1, 1998, through Viking Press and follows the character of Phineas Poe after he wakes up in a hotel bathtub full of ice to discover that somebody has removed one of his kidneys. Plot summaryDuring his first night out of a mental institution after suffering a nervous breakdown, Phineas Poe is picked up by a prostitute named Jude. She drugs him and removes his kidney and leaves him in a hotel bathtub full of ice with a note on the counter that reads, "If you want to live, call 9-1-1." Phineas, an ex-police officer who had recently been searching for information against the Denver Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit, later finds out that his kidney was actually replaced by a bag of heroin. While searching for his missing kidney, Phineas finds love in his attacker, while he evades the angry Denver police and tries to unlock the secrets behind his wife's recent death. ReceptionCritical reception for Kiss Me, Judas was mixed.[1][2] Entertainment Weekly gave the book a "C+", writing that Baer's "scalpel-sharp noir style proves a mesmerizing lure, but it can't compensate for a hazy plot that veers from the nauseating (much gratuitous, ornately sadistic violence) to the nonsensical".[3] The Chicago Tribune also gave a mixed review, recommending the book to "fans of James Ellroy's more elliptical writing" but writing that it took a while to get into the book's rhythm.[4] Kirkus Reviews gave a more positive review, stating that "Baer will almost certainly write better books than this, but probably not with such youthful verve, bare nerve-ends, or frigidly droll, dead-on metaphors".[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Fiction Review: Kiss Me, Judas|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-670-88175-8|work=Publishers Weekly|accessdate=30 May 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Review: Kiss Me, Judas|url=http://www.booklistonline.com/Kiss-Me-Judas-Will-Christopher-Baer/pid=255093|publisher=work|accessdate=30 May 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Review: Kiss Me, Judas|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,285975,00.html|work=Entertainment Weekly|accessdate=30 May 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Gritty City|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1998-11-15/entertainment/9811150050_1_loren-d-estleman-novels-historical-fiction/2|work=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=30 May 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Review: Kiss Me, Judas|url=http://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/will-christopher-baer/kiss-me-judas/|publisher=Kirkus Reviews|accessdate=30 May 2013}} 8 : 1998 American novels|Novels by Will Christopher Baer|Debut novels|Postmodern novels|Existentialist novels|Fiction with unreliable narrators|Novels set in Denver|Viking Press books |
