After Quince Bishop gets into a fistfight with eco-activists who disrupt his best friend's funeral, his journalist ex-girlfriend covers the story and a beautiful funeral-rights advocate gets involved, upending poor Quince's lackadaisical life. But that's nothing compared to the funeral-biz scams he unearths in Sean Doolittle's uproarious first novel, Dirt.
Book Description
It's morning in L.A., and professional loafer Quince Bishop can't think of anything more depressing than watching yet another loved one, this time his best friend, being lowered into the ground — until a band of eco-activists crash the ceremony to deliver a lecture on the high cost of dying in America. Quince decides to take on these unwelcome guests, but soon finds himself befriending their leader, Maria Casteneda, who takes him into their underground world where the entrance fee is a beating. Not exactly Mayberry, but Quince persists, abetted by his ambitious ex-girlfriend and pushy reporter Melanie Roth. Unable to let buried skeletons lie, Quince collides with two entrepreneurial ex-cons who are hatching a burial plot of their own. Chaos, confusion, and double-dealing are on the program, and only one thing is certain: all paths lead to the cemetery in this hilarious mystery.
