Gone Bamboo by Anthony Bourdain (Paperback ISBN 9781786895196) book cover

Available as Paperback, eBook

From the bestselling author of Kitchen Confidential comes another sensational thriller

Welcome to the retirement home of Henry and Frances, ex-New Yorkers and professional assassins: a luxury hotel suite in an idyllic, tequila-drenched Caribbean hideaway.

It’s supposed to be all cocktails and sex on the beach. But when a job icing a Mafioso godfather goes awry, trouble hits paradise … in the form of a cross-dressing capo, a debauched Irish hard man and a slew of incompetent but vicious US marshals.


“A caper of murder and mayhem that reads like Carl Hiaasen on holiday with Elmore Leonard and goes out with a bang like a tequila slammer”
the Times
