Snaggler's Paradise is a work of fiction satire, September 2012, by Jeff Davis.

With its acid edge and wicked humor, Jeff Davis’s rapid fire depiction of bureaucracy gone wild digs underneath the fingernails of the typical blue-collar worker, satirizing both modern-day relationships and business life. Specifically, if we can’t stand our jobs and families, live for the day to escape!

Luckless in love and working a dead-end job, Jack Snaggler thinks his fortune is about to change when he meets a drop dead gorgeous brunette named Paradise at a local bar. But when a shady fast food chef at a fleabag diner vanishes and coworkers start disappearing, Jack is framed for murder. If he wants to stay alive long enough to ever see Paradise again, he'll first need to escape a conspiracy, that at each turn, involves almost everyone he knows.

Living under the backdrop of a dysfunctional world are people like Ed Shoemaker, a disgruntled office flunky conspiring to off his brutish wife and flee to Fiji; Eileen Klump, a cleaning lady in the throes of menopause who suffers from periodic mental breakdowns and takes intermittent stays at the local mental facility; along with Lance Sheppard, a would-be entrepreneur who makes his living the good old fashioned way: disability fraud. Regardless of the premise, the book punctures the fabric of what's simply funny with an ever-present shadow of underlying truth.

Wedged in the middle of the chaos, Jack Snaggler fights to stay afloat in a murky pool of corrupt businessmen, trigger-happy feds, sleazy seaside hotel rooms, and incompetent crooks, all the while stomping for the pursuit of true love and happiness.

Escapist entertainment and roast on society, this book is for anyone who has one of those days where the kids just drew crayon marks all over the wall, the traffic is bumper to bumper and the air conditioner is broke, the boss has you under a microscope, and that little voice in the back of your head is screaming, "ENOUGH! Take the first exit ramp you to the airport and disappear to some desert island in the South Pacific where they'll never find you."
