Shovel Ready by Adam Sternbergh
Set in a dystopian New York City ravaged by a dirty bomb, the story follows Spademan, a former garbage man turned hitman, who navigates a world where the wealthy escape reality through virtual reality pods, leaving the city to decay. Spademan's life takes a turn when he is hired to kill the daughter of a powerful evangelist, only to discover she is pregnant and on the run. As he delves deeper into the assignment, he becomes entangled in a web of secrets and moral dilemmas, challenging his own code and forcing him to confront the remnants of his humanity in a city that has lost its soul.
