"'I haven't laughed so hard or often at a crime novel in years. A wonderfully perverse book, I recommend it in the highest possible terms.' Scott Phillips * 'The man can tell a story, oh, yes, indeed.' T. C. Boyle * 'Brilliant. Perverse black humour and sensuality, totally unexpected situations. This is spare, stylish writing. Impossible not to finish once you've started.' New York Post"

Welcome to sunny Hawaii, where the palm trees sway, the tropical breezes blow and a gangland-style turf war is erupting. When a TV producer flies to the islands to film a pilot, a fight breaks out over who will cater the shoot. Will it be Joseph and his hot-headed Samoan uncle, who have held a monopoly on the catering business for years? Or Big Jack Lacey, a trash-talking, lap dance-addicted stroke survivor from Las Vegas, and his son? With the lines drawn and both sides preparing for a battle to the death, Joseph's survival ultimately depends on the one thing he's good at: cooking. This uproarious and delectably dark comic thriller shows a side of paradise that definitely hasn't been endorsed by the tourist bureau.
