Stuff to Die For

Best friends James Lessor and Skip Moore are hardly on the fast track. While James works as a line cook at Cap'n Crab, Skip spends his days selling - or rather, attempting to sell - security systems to people who have no money, and have nothing they care to protect.

Best friends James Lessor and Skip Moore are hardly on the fast track. While James works as a line cook at Cap'n Crab, Skip spends his days selling—or rather, attempting to sell—security systems to people who (a) have no money, and (b) have nothing they care to protect.

James and Skip aren't upwardly mobile, but they're about to get literally mobile when James spends a surprise inheritance on a white box truck. An investment in the future, he surmises, as these two are starting a business—solely devoted to hauling other people's stuff.

But the fledgling business takes a shocking turn when James and Skip unload the contents of their first moving job and find some unexpected cargo—a bloody human finger. James and Skip must scramble to stay one step ahead of the perpetrators of the gruesome crime in this witty, gritty mystery about big dreams, big ideas—and big trouble.

Instead of chasing the American dream, James and Skip will be running for their lives.

Stuff to Die For by Don Bruns offers a thrilling journey as two best friends dive headfirst into the whirlwind of crime and unexpected adventures.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Stuff to Die For by Don Bruns is praised for its vivid characters, engaging prose, and well-defined Florida setting, making it an outstanding buddy caper. Critics liken its characters and humour to those in Tim Dorsey's novels, with a narrative reminiscent of Mark Twain's style. The endearing main characters, James and Skip, have drawn comparisons to grown-up versions of the Hardy Boys, resulting in calls for a series featuring their comedic and hapless adventures. The novel combines wit with gritty storytelling and richly developed characters, delivering a delightful read.
