Plugged

The adult fiction debut by internationally bestselling writer Colfer is gritty, whiplash-inducing, utterly compelling, and may surprise with its "extreme raunchiness" (Kirkus Reviews). In the tradition of Raymond Chandler and Donald Westlake, Plugged tells the story of Daniel McEvoy, the Irish bouncer of a seedy New Jersey club. Dan has a problem. Well, he has several, but for him the worst is that the girl he loves was just murdered. Until more people around him start dying, and not of natural causes. Suddenly Dan's got the mob, cops, and an unstable lovesick neighbor after him, and the only clue points toward the crooked doctor who gave Dan hair implants before vanishing into thin air. Luckily-or perhaps not so much-he has the dubious help of a volatile detective, a permanently hungover army psychologist, and a mischievous ghost. In Dan's brilliantly unique voice, Colfer, beloved by millions for his Artemis Fowl series, has written a hilarious and very exciting tour de force thriller of head-spinning plot twists, compulsive in the tradition of Carl Hiaasen's best work-a "pitch-perfect comic noir" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Complete with the best banter this side of Elmore Leonard's Detroit, Plugged will leave you shocked, awed, and wanting more.

“The mixture of Colfer’s amusing prose and narrator John Keating’s comedic timing makes this audio production a thoroughly entertaining listening experience.” STARRED REVIEW
