Anmärkning: Allmän This novel is part of the Headless project organized by the Swedish artist group Goldin + Senneby, which has included elements such as art exhibitions, an exhibition catalog, lectures ("performances"), and a previous novel (Looking for Headless). Headless Ltd. is an offshore finance company (registered in the Bahamas, managed from Gibraltar) being investigated by Goldin + Senneby; a number of the occurrences depicted in the novels were staged in order to bolster the plot, and there is an often-indistinguishable line between fiction and reality with regard to events, companies, and persons involved in the project. Authorship of the novels has been attributed to K.D., an identity which has been associated with various differing full (real?) names, and who allegedly was a client-services manager for Headless Ltd. in Gibraltar. "'Headless, ' an exhilarating murder-mystery by the elusive K.D., probes the sordid secrets and sinister deeds of powerful financiers who use Caribbean firms to concel their fortunes ... 'Headless' was written in the course of seven years, during which time K.D. utilized actors, investigators, and hired hands to orchestrate events that advanced the novel's plot. These real-world elements of the novel transpired or were presented as excerpts at readings, auctions, industry events, exhibitions, conferences, and London Zoo."--Triple Canopy website. "'Headless commercial thriller, ' the introduction to this novel, was originally published on June 20, 2013, in the eighteenth issue of Triple canopy, 'Active rot.'"--Title page verso.

When workaday author John Barlow is asked to ghostwrite a novel about secretive tax havens, he assumes the job will be straightforward. Then he learns that his employers, Swedish conceptual artist duo Goldin+Senneby, want him to investigate Headless Ltd, a shadowy company with possible links to French philosopher Georges Bataille, famed for his fixation with human sacrifice. Barlow travels to Nassau, the mecca of offshore finance, to uncover the plot. He is not alone. A beautiful, mysterious woman is also seeking the truth about Headless--and about Barlow. One day the ghostwriter is happily posting to his travel blog; the next he is implicated in the decapitation of a police officer, consumed by the dark world of covert capitalism and secret societies. Barlow's probing becomes desperate. The more he grasps at the threads of the labyrinthine plot, the closer he comes to madness.
