Was it worth making a career as a millionaire by stuffing airbags with newspapers and forcing a drunken veterinarian to give women silicone breasts, only to end up as a giant pink shell with a gun in his hands? Maybe it’s easier to find a real adult job and watch from a dark corner as the boss has your fiancee? Or hide a million dollars in an inflatable boat, leave your boat to a blonde and a gang of musicians, and go to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean? Should I chase criminals or marry a troublemaker and then raise my daughter alone? Listen to a concert in a nursing home or squander money at roulette on a rusty trough outside a three-mile radius? The heroes of Dave Barry's book do all this. Each of them has their own difficult business. Risky business. Tricky business.

And even a very neat gait will not protect against the false teeth of the Old Rat.

Pulitzer Prize winner American journalist Dave Barry is known to Russian readers from the novel and film “Big Trouble” (2002 ). Comic thriller "Tricky Business" - for the first time in Russian. It is unlikely that you will dream of such a Miami.
