Overview

Best friends James Lessor and Skip Moore are hardly on the fast track. While James works as a line cook at Cap'n Crab, Skip spends his days selling - or rather, attempting to sell - security systems to people who (a) have no money, and (b) have nothing they care to protect. James and Skip aren't upwardly mobile, but they're about to get literally mobile when James spends a surprise inheritance on a white box truck. An investment in the future, he surmises, as these two are starting a business - solely devoted to hauling other people's stuff. But the fledgling business takes a shocking turn when James and Skip unload the contents of their first moving job and find some unexpected cargo - a bloody human finger. James and Skip must scramble to stay one step ahead of the perpetrators of the gruesome crime in this witty, gritty mystery about big dreams, big ideas - and big trouble. Instead of chasing the American dream, James and Skip will be running for their lives

Meet lovable, bumbling entrepreneurs-turned-amateur-sleuths James Lessor and Skip Moore. A substantial promotional budget will allow extensive national advertising, including targeted print media ads and mainstream print outlets. A multi-tiered publicity campaign to include wide distribution of Advanced Reading Copies, a national author tour and Book Sense Programs. Witty, gritty and filled with brilliantly realized characters, the book is a pure delight. Jeffrey Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Sleeping Doll Witty, gritty and filled with brilliantly realized characters, the book is a pure delight. -Jeffrey Deaver, New York Times bestselling author This quirkily engaging mystery is a buddy novel as funny as the movie Dumb and Dumber. --Library Journal Will remind the reader of Tim Dorsey's cast of whacked-out characters but with the narrative voice and feel of Mark Twain's Huck Finn. --Booklist (Starred review) Vivid characters, a crackerjack prose style, and a sharply (limned?) Florida setting make STUFF TO DIE FORE the buddy caper of the year. --Author Claudia Bishop Bruns is simply masterful.... a romp through Miami to be snickered at and savored. --Deadly Pleasures A memorable ride involving big dreams, big trouble and a simple truck --Publishers Weekly
