Gone Bamboo

Tony Bourdain

Welcome to the retirement home of Henry and Frances, ex-New Yorkers and professional assassins. It is a luxury hotel suite in an idyllic, tequila-drenched Caribbean hideaway. It’s supposed to be all cocktails and sex on the beach. But when a job icing a Mafioso godfather goes awry, trouble hits paradise …in the form of a cross-dressing capo, a debauched Irish hard man and a slew of incompetent but vicious US marshals.

Reviews of Gone Bamboo

* A caper of murder and mayhem that reads like Carl Hiaasen on holiday with Elmore Leonard and goes out with a bang like a tequila slammer. The Times * A cross between The Sopranos and Baywatch. Crimetime * Sharp and funny – if it's gangster rap you want to read then Bourdain is your man. Daily Express * A sparkling read. Daily Telegraph * This wise-cracking, snappy tale refreshes like a Caribbean breeze. Herald This sassy story of murder mayhem and Caribbean cocktails … is a superior read for the beach this summer. — Lucy Knox Tribune
