Pest Control

Author: Bill Fitzhugh

Summary: Bob Dillon has lived his life being teased about his name (Bob Dylan) when he's a pretty mild-mannered etymologist working as an exterminator. He has an idea for all natural pest control and finally gets fed up and quits his job, even though his family is on the verge of bankruptcy. He meets an old friend while drinking sends off his "Exterminator" resume to a questionable help wanted ad. He quickly forgets about it, but the ad was really a cover for a hit man. Soon he's assumed to be one of the greatest hit men on the market and is running from just about everyone in an effort to stay alive.

Recommendation: Yes, I would recommend it, but the language is quite crude in a number of places. It's a spoof of both New York and the hit man industry and has some laugh out loud parts to it. If you can handle the language and inferences, it's a great laugh. Very smart and well written.
