B
ob Dillon and Klaus have more unusual pasts than most could ever even conjure up in their imaginations. Now Bob only wants to drive a pest exterminator truck and kill bugs. His new best friend, Klaus, tags along.
B
ob has had to survive numerous assassination attempts, and has pulled off a ten million dollar con. And now a Bolivian drug lord is after Bob and Klaus. For some reason, the drug lord wants their heads on a platter, unattached to their bodies.
K

E
vents get weirder and weirder so that readers don't know whether to hold their breath in anticipation of deadly happenings or to let loose with a belly laugh.

uthor Bill Fitzhugh now has nine books to his writing credit. One of them –
Pest Control
- has been translated into half a dozen languages, and produced as a stage musical and a German radio show. It was also one of Amazon's Top 50 mysteries in 1997. Fun book.
