Tricky Business

by Dave Barry 

Genre: Mystery (with a kick) 

Imagine a Quentin Tarantino spin on a Harrison Ford action flick, and you will understand the feel of Comedian Dave Barry’s novel, Tricky Business.

  The owner of a luxury gambling ship defies the oncoming tropical storm and sets sail one evening due to a hidden agenda: A huge drug smuggling mission is going down on the ship, and it can’t be delayed.  What transpires is a hilarious, fast-paced adventure involving several Mafia hitmen, undercover FBI agents, a rock band, and a television news crew who relentlessly and unsuccessfully pursues the whole affair. 

Barry never fails to hook his nonfiction readers with his wit and charm, and his fiction works are equally outrageous.  Tricky Business is full of mystery and black comedy and won’t fail to be entertaining, despite the book’s absurd plot and exorbitant body count.  (Explicit violence and strong language.)
