Jake Trapper isn’t your average organ acquisition specialist. He’s the best in L.A. But Jake has a soft spot for underdogs and his current case is Angel, a young girl from a broken home. She needs a kidney. So Jake makes a deal with a broker and gets seduced into the kidney business. When a potential organ donor is killed, Jake meets LAPD Homicide Detective Megan Densmore who enlists Jake to help with the investigation. Enter Special Agent Fuller, a Fed looking into the black market angle. He’s an oddball with an architecture fetish and an endless supply of strange tales to tell. As more bodies surface, Special Agent Fuller turns a suspicious eye toward Jake and the noose tightens, threatening to reveal Jake’s dirty little secret. Human Resources is a darkly comic thriller with heart, and lungs, and kidneys…and a botched monkey kidnapping.
Human Resources Bill Fitzhugh Books
I found myself reading this book at the start of my healing from shoulder surgery. I appreciate the way the book kept me busy so I wasn't spending time lingering on things. I have read all of Bill's books and as soon as I'm done with each one I look forward to reading his next one. I find it such a great characteristic that he can create individuals for his stories that seem at once so human and usually so likeable. How he knows so much about so many things in life fascinates and scares me all at once. I wish him the best in whatever story line he pursues next and I know we'll all be richly rewarded when we read the next one.Product details

Mr. Fitzhugh takes a subject with gruesome potential and turns it into a riot of whacky dialogue, twisty action, and in the end some interesting
opinions on the ethics of organ transplanting. His best book to date, which is saying something. Continues to cement his position among such
great writers as Westlake, Leonard, and Block, and R. Thomas.
I've read all of Bill's books. He's even signed a few for me. They're all funny and the characters fall into some perplexing situations. Human Resources is well written with a full cast of characters which Bill ties together in some pretty wild scenarios. The comparison to Carl Hiaasen is entirely appropriate. But it's not like he copies any author. His grasp of the human condition and what motivates people to pursue boneheaded ideas is second to none.You won't be disappointed with any of his books.
Bill Fitzhugh has a great sense of humor mixed with mischief. I've read almost all of his books and would recommend any of them. In Human Resources he revisits the transplant world of need versus greed and the ways to get things done, illegally or lawfully. Loved Fitzhugh's dig at another mystery writer. Very funny.
Fitzhugh takes everyday scenes, and Everyman characters, and tosses them into a zany-but-possible scenario, where there is murder, mystery, love, and the big business of organ sales. I love the conversations that Fitzhugh's characters have - rib-busting narratives that sound street-real - and his plot careens along as fast as an ambulance carrying very valuable body parts to a private morgue. With Human Resources, Fitzhugh reveals the seamy and bloated underbelly of the organ harvesting and sales business, while also showing us that love can bloom anywhere, and that there are some good hearts out there, among the bad. This is a good read.
Jake Trapper is a harvester working for the Southern California Company, Organ Procurement Network. He spends his free time visiting patients who are waiting for a kidney and undergoing dialysis. Jake makes friends with a patient—teenage Goth queen, Angel, who is indignant that life has dealt her a bum hand. Having met Angel’s mother, Nikki, an adult entertainer, Jake realizes that he might be the only answer to Angel’s problems, especially when the girl’s chances take a turn for the worse. Unfortunately, this ‘turn’ involves dipping into the highly illegal procurement of black market organs.
Striking a deal with a broker, Jake works out a referral plan to get rich patients in touch with an off-the-waiting-list kidney in return for a special deal for Angel. Unbeknownst to Jake, a Fed by the name of Special Agent Fuller has been tracking the black market angle after a couple of donor hearts are stolen en-route to patients. Along with bombshell, LAPD Homicide Detective Megan Densmore, the duo is watching and following Trapper, as he looks to be a likely suspect in the plot to acquire high-end organs.
Once Densmore strikes up an after-hours relationship with Trapper she helps him disguise the real reason he’s working the black market angle and he volunteers to go undercover to help break the ring of heart thieves.
Along with a dimwitted tattoo artist, a botched kidnapping, a Hollywood mogul and his pet spider monkey, and a failed physician with a dark side, Fitzhugh keeps us thoroughly entertained in this black comedy—the third in the Transplant Trilogy series.
I remember picking up a copy of Bill Fitzhugh's PEST CONTROL in my local bookstore more than 20 years ago, taking it home, thinking "What a brilliant conceit," and feeling a touch (read "massive amount") of envy that this genius author had written such a terrific novel. I eagerly awaited his next book, and have continued to be a fan over the succeeding years.
HUMAN RESOURCES, Fitzhugh's latest, is no exception to his string of winners. I finished it the other night with a satisfied grin on my face. I've met Bill at a couple of conferences and found that he's a lot like the books he writes--a guy who takes on serious subjects in a sidesplittingly funny way. Not too many authors can pull that off, but Fitzhugh's in a pantheon of writers that includes Carl Hiaasen, Steve Brewer, Tim Hallinan, Elmore Leonard, Charlie Huston, Chris Ewan, Donald Westlake and Gregory McDonald.
Haven't read him? No time like the present.
