A Hiaasenesque comedy in the sense that odd characters connect in even odder circumstances. Entertaining plot through and through - most especially the final scene, with the motley group of hitmen and the misunderstood pest control professional running for their lives through Little Italy, upsetting a Mafia dinner and causing a scene, in itself.
You'd never know this was Fitzhugh's first novel - it's tightly knit, the loose ends are resolved at the end, and my GOD is this funny!

I read this a while ago, and don't remember a lot of details, but it was very funny, in a dark way. The protag is an exterminator who posts an ad to get more business. The ad is misinterpreted by some gangsters, who set out to hire him as a hit man.

Really great, funny adventure story. Since I love spy stories, this was good. I'm not easily impressed, and while not a true spy story, it had all of the elements.

Loved this book!!! Entrepreneure-wannabe is mistaken for an international assassin. Mayhem ensues. Well-written and nicely resolved.
