Dave Barry makes his fiction debut with a ferociously funny novel
of love and mayhem in south Florida. In the city of Coconut Grove,
Florida, these things happen: A struggling adman named Eliot Arnold
drives home from a meeting with the Client From Hell. His teenage
son, Matt, fills a Squirtmaster 9000 for his turn at a high school
game called Killer. Matt's intended victim, Jenny Herk, sits down
in front of the TV with her mom for what she hopes will be a
peaceful evening for once. Jenny's alcoholic and secretly
embezzling stepfather, Arthur, emerges from the maid's room, angry
at being rebuffed. Henry and Leonard, two hit men from New Jersey,
pull up to the Herks' house for a real game of Killer, Arthur's
embezzlement apparently not having been quite so secret to his
employers after all. And a homeless man named Puggy settles down
for the night in a treehouse just inside the Herks' yard. In a few
minutes, a chain of events that will change the lives of each and
every one of them will begin, and will leave some of them wiser,
some of them deader, and some of them definitely looking for a new
line of work. With a wicked wit, razor-sharp observations, rich
characters, and a plot with more twists than the Inland Waterway,
Dave Barry makes his debut a complete and utter triumph.
