A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"A very funny and interesting book...give it to someone who needs a good laugh." (San Antonio Express-News)

"This debut novel is...goofy but great fun." (Dallas Morning News)

"PEST CONTROL is an eccentrically comic take on the high-tech thriller...[it is a] strange and funny...curiously appealing little novel of intrigue" (National Public Radio - All Things Considered)

"A sweetly comic thriller...consistently sunny and good-humored." (Kirkus Reviews)

"...a clever and satisfying debut...offbeat, engaging, and very funny reading, it is wholly successful." (Washington Post)

"[Pest Control is]...hilarious [and] wonderful...Fitzhugh is a funny man and Pest Control is a funny book." (Elle)

"Pest Control is uber-contemporary, a hilarious, running-in-circles blend of droll farce and warped humor." (Austin American-Statesman)

"...this is one roach motel you'll gladly check into." (Time Out New York)

"Stingingly Funny." (Poeple)

"This debut novel...hinges on a delightfully buggy idea that takes full comic advantage of New York City." (Publishers Weekly)

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bob Dillon can't get a break. A down-on-his-luck exterminator, all he wants is his own truck with a big fiberglass bug on top -- and success with his radical new, environmentally friendly pest-killing technique. So Bob decides to advertise.

Unfortunately, one of his flyers falls into the wrong hands. Marcel, a shady Frenchman, needs an assassin to handle a million-dollar hit, and he figures that Bob Dillon is his man. Through no fault -- or participation -- of his own, this unwitting pest controller from Queens has become a major player in the dangerous world of contract murder.

And now Bob's running for his life through the wormiest sections of the Big Apple -- one step ahead of a Bolivian executioner, a homicidal transvestite dwarf, meatheaded CIA agents, cabbies packing serious heat ... and the world's number-one hit man, who might just turn out to be the best friend Bob's got.
