Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Artemis Fowl series comes a hilarious adult novel featuring a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon living in the Louisiana bayous. Once a fearsome creature soaring through the skies, Vern now hides from swamp tour boats, spending his days in a fishing shack, lighting Marlboros with nose sparks and binge-watching Netflix. As the last dragon, he grapples with loneliness and nostalgia for his glory days. Meanwhile, fifteen-year-old Everett Squib Moreau struggles to survive while trying to protect his saintly single mother. After witnessing a murder committed by a crooked sheriff, Squib becomes a target himself. In a twist of fate, he is rescued by Vern, who proposes a deal: Squib will act as his go-between, fetching vodka and keeping him company in exchange for protection from the vengeful sheriff. As their unlikely partnership develops, they find themselves hurtling toward a confrontation that could determine the fate of dragons and their own lives. This genre-bending tale is a clever and funny adventure that showcases Eoin Colfer's signature style.
