Welcome to the retirement home of Henry and Frances, ex-New Yorkers and professional assassins: a luxury hotel suite in an idyllic, tequila-drenched Caribbean hideaway.
It's supposed to be all cocktails and sex on the beach. But when a job icing a Mafioso godfather goes awry, trouble hits paradise ... in the form of a cross-dressing capo, a debauched Irish hard man and a slew of incompetent but vicious US marshals.
A caper of murder and mayhem that reads like Carl Hiaasen on holiday with Elmore Leonard and goes out with a bang like a tequila slammer * * The Times * *
A sparkling read * * Daily Telegraph * *
Sharp and funny - if it's gangster rap you want to read then Bourdain is your man * * Daily Express * *
A cross between The Sopranos and Baywatch * * Crimetime * *
This wise-cracking, snappy tale refreshes like a Caribbean breeze * * Herald * *
This sassy story of murder mayhem and Caribbean cocktails . . . is a superior read for the beach this summer
