Hardcover of ‘lost in las vegas’

Early critiques of this quirky, dark-humored narrative about two unfortunate tourists in Las Vegas who are constantly trying to outwit their pursuers— a blend of Pulp Fiction and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, with shades of Elmore Leonard— have acclaimed this piece as one of the most hilarious novels ever penned.

This unconventional, darkly amusing story tracks the journey of John and Ludo, two luckless holidaymakers in Las Vegas, as they navigate a series of calamities while their world crumbles around them and they descend into the gritty and perilous underworld of Sin City. Due to a risky obsession with an enigmatic woman, this duo of misfortune and ill luck—within a mere twenty-four hours—find themselves pursued by the mafia, FBI, six vicious assassins, law enforcement, and the Rat, a deranged ex-spouse, in a world where nothing is what it appears to be.

From that point on, their situation starts to deteriorate—they are penniless, without a home, and roam the city streets with no means to leave the city. They constantly argue as they encounter eccentric and vivid personalities inhabiting the hidden corners of Las Vegas casinos, exotic dance clubs, and bustling downtown streets. John and Ludo find themselves in a confusing situation, unable to distinguish between friends and foes as they frantically try to stay one step ahead of those chasing them, all while striving to achieve a simple dream—escape from Vegas.
