an exterminator being mistaken, by several different individuals for an assassin ? Somehow it all works in the book and is a refreshingly different twist ( ) The general plot of this book was rather unbelievable, but it certainly kept me turning the pages, especially for all the subtle humor that Fitzhugh includes in his writing. I came to adore the characters, especially Bob, the hapless pest controller looking for the ultimate in all-natural pest control, and Klaus, a reluctant hired assassin. I kept thinking that this would make a great movie. This is the first book in a series. adult fiction. I remember reading this a long time ago, and liking it enough to seek out more of Fitzhugh's books, but don't remember a whole lot otherwise. Judging from the other reviews, all the "bug talk" (learning about cockroaches and the science of the bug extermination business) can be a turnoff, but if you're game, check this one out. no reviews | add a review

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.
