Fitzhugh has written nine satiric crime novels, with his most recent being "The Exterminators," which is the sequel to "Pest Control." "Pest Control" was one of Amazon's Top 50 Mysteries when it was published. Peter Millar of The Times (London) described "Pest Control" as "One of the funniest, most off-beat thrillers to hit the bookstalls in years. An action-packed plot, stuffed with streetwise lines and larger-than-life characters." The New York Times compared Fitzhugh to Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard, stating that he is "a strange and deadly amalgam of screenwriter and comic novelist." Film rights to two of his novels, "Pest Control" and "Cross Dressing," have been sold to Warner Brothers and Universal Studios, respectively. "Pest Control" was also produced as a German radio show and a stage musical in Los Angeles. Fitzhugh's work has been translated into six languages.

Fitzhugh is known for his unique and humorous writing style, often exploring unexpected and unusual subjects in his novels. He has been described as "of average height" and "not particularly fast in the hundred meters, though quick enough to escape capture that one time." The New York Times stated that Fitzhugh is "the author of enough books to keep you busy for a while." His novels feature a variety of intriguing protagonists and explore the dark underbelly of various industries and subcultures. Fitzhugh currently resides in Los Angeles, where he continues to write and create new and exciting stories.
