An extraordinarily original novel from a new young American author -- at once a stylish, violent thriller and a shockingly funny black comedy. The Roadtrip From Hell...As Sean Breen and David Klein head out from Tampa Bay on their long-planned trip to the Florida Keys there's nothing on their minds except fishing, beer and baseball. But when five million dollars is dropped into the boot of the wrong car, a whole convoy of homicidal wackos sets off in pursuit of the two unsuspecting men, leaving behind a bewildering trail of bodies. From murder by shrink-fit jeans in Tampa, via mayhem at the World Series in Miami, to a convention of Hemingway lookalikes in Key West, Florida Roadkill is an unforgettable ride through the wildest corners of the Sunshine State -- a kaleidoscopic crime spree taking in sex, drugs and Satanist rock 'n' roll, lap dancing, extortion and a dozen of the most unusual forms of murder ever seen in fiction.
