Angebote / Angebote:

‘I killed Joe once, in a manner of speaking. But not twice. Not in the way you mean.’Llew Jones wanted to see the States and write about the experience. Then he got caught up in an adventure that got way, way out of control. Now Llew is in jail, Joe is gone, and he has to give his side of the story if he’s ever going to get free . . .It started when he met the charismatic butterfly salesman Joe Bosco and his freakish family. Joe convinced Llew to join him on the road-trip of a lifetime and soon they were hurtling across 1980s America, trying to strike a million-dollar deal for the rarest butterflies of all. But Joe’s prone to exaggeration, impossible to pin down, and has little respect for the law. So it doesn’t take long for this road to lead to trouble.The Killing of Butterfly Joe is a dazzling and propulsive book from the bestselling author of The Aftermath. Full of characters you’ll never forget, this is a wildly original story about friendship, desire, and participating in the Great American Dream – ‘the one that leads from rags to riches via pitches’ – whatever the consequences.
