The Exterminators

"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.

About the Author

Bill Fitzhugh is the award-winning author of eight satiric crime novels. The New York Times called him "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." Warner Brothers and Universal Studios bought the film rights to his novels Pest Control and Cross Dressing respectively. Cross Dressing was nominated for the Barry Award and won the 2002 Best Fiction Award from the Mississippi Library Association.

Pest Control was one of Amazon’s Top 50 mysteries in 1997. It was produced as a radio series in Germany by Deutschland Radio and as a stage musical by Open at The Top Theatre Company in association with Canum Entertainment. The initial Los Angeles run of the play was a huge success, staged at the NoHo Arts Center in Los Angeles, featuring Tony Award winner Cleavant Derricks along with Broadway veterans Darren Ritchie, Beth Malone, Joanna Glushak and a cast of dozens. It won the Los Angeles Stage Alliance’s Ovation Award for Best Costume. The show is still in development and the producer hopes to take it to New York.

Since 2005, Fitzhugh has been writing, producing, and hosting a show on XM (now Sirius-XM) Satellite Radio’s Deep Tracks channel called "Fitzhugh’s All Hand Mixed Vinyl." He is one of only three outside hosts on Deep Tracks. The other two: Tom Petty and Bob Dylan.

Fitzhugh is also the author of The Exterminators, the upcoming sequel to Pest Control. Fitzhugh’s novels have been translated into German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, and Romanian. He is a former member of the board of directors of the Southern California Chapter of Mystery Writers of America. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, two dogs, and a cat named Crusty Boogers.
