Initial critiques of this quirky, dark humor piece about two unfortunate tourists in Las Vegas attempting to outpace their pursuers—resembling a hybrid of Pulp Fiction and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, with a hint of Elmore Leonard—have lauded this creation as one of the most hilarious novels ever penned.
This unique, darkly humorous narrative tracks the escapades of John and Ludo, two unfortunate Las Vegas holidaymakers, as they navigate through a chain of calamities while their universe crumbles and they plunge into the grimy and perilous underworld of the City of Sin. Owing to an unsafe obsession with an enigmatic lady, this ill-fated and luckless pair—in a mere twenty-four hours—find themselves being pursued by the mafia, FBI, six ruthless assassins, law enforcement, and the Rat, a deranged former spouse, in a reality where appearances can be deceiving.
From that point, the situation spirals downwards—they’re penniless, without a home, and aimlessly roam the city streets with no means of leaving town. Amidst their constant squabbles, they encounter a variety of quirky and vibrant individuals who dwell in the darker corners of Las Vegas casinos, strip clubs, and bustling city streets. John and Ludo struggle to distinguish friend from foe and fact from fiction, as they frantically strive to stay one step ahead of those chasing them and achieve a single, straightforward dream—escape Vegas.
