"In Bruen and Starr's scattershot fourth Max Fisher noir (after 2008's  The Max ), a new designer drug called PIMP (an acronym for  peyote ,  insulin , mescaline , and  psychosis ) is poised to give the ne'er-do-well New York City "businessman" (i.e., drug dealer) another shot at the big time. Since the first book in the series, 2006's  Bust , in which Max and his secretary, Angela Petrakos, plotted to kill his wife, Max has fallen on hard times, appearing after his plastic surgery "like Philip Seymour Hoffman after the autopsy." Meanwhile, Angela has stumbled as well, making a living in porn. But she's caught a break, too. In a metafictional twist, a movie of  Bust  is in heated development, and she's determined to produce and star. The usual torrent of pop culture references (and relentless self-references) heap satire on filmmaking and crime writing as Bruen and Starr take a comic look back at their initial collaboration. Longtime fans may enjoy the 10th-anniversary antics, but new readers might want to start with  Bust  and work their way up." - Publishers Weekly "I want to kill these guys--except I can't stop laughing long enough." --Lee Child   "Downright hilarious and bloodthirsty in the best possible way. With all the dirt and more you could ask about Hollywood and the world of crime publishing." --Maxim Jakubowski   "Perfect for those who like to laugh while the blood flows." --Booklist "You won't put this delightfully twisted novel down until the last hot page, and then reluctantly." - Marvin Minkler First Editions "PIMP is a wild ride of sheer fun and entertainment.
