In Linda’s review of The
Exterminators
(below), she compares Bill Fitzhugh’s sequel to Pest Control to the works of Carl
Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey. Here’s what those luminaries had to say about it.
Hiaasen says, “The Exterminators is wild
and clever fun, but it’s also crawling with enough creepy insect facts to
humble an Orkin man. Even as you lie awake grinning at Fitzhugh’s writing, you
might find yourself hearing the soft scuttle of cockroaches under your bed.”
And Dorsey adds: “The Exterminators is an hysterical
satire on politics, religion, Hollywood, and insects.”  With Gar Anthony Haywood.

"Bill Fitzhugh is a deeply disturbed individual who uses his talents to write very funny novels."—Carl Hiaasen The bugs are back! And thanks to the miracle of genetic engineering, they're more deadly than ever. Six years after escaping New York and a posse of the world's best assassins, Bob and Klaus are on the verge of a breakthrough with their all natural pest control method. But gene splicing doesn't come cheap, so they've turned to Blue Sky Investment Partners, a venture capital outfit with terms that are, shall we say, hard to believe. Before you can say la cucaracha, they find themselves in Los Angeles with Mary and Katy in tow. Not only that, but there's another bounty on their heads and a new batch of killers on their trail. Throw in a CIA agent with a devious plan, a conflicted priest with a duffle bag of weapons, a professional killer working on a screenplay, and some serious post-9/11 thinking, and you've got The Exterminators. The New York Times called Bill Fitzhugh "a strange and deadly amalgam of screenwriter and comic novelist. His facility and wit, and his taste for the perverse, put him in a league with Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard." He is the author of nine comic crime novels, including Pest Control, The Organ Grinders, and Cross Dressing. He lives in Los Angeles, CA, with his wife, two dogs, and a cat named Crusty Boogers.
