Book Description
================
Hiaasen's latest thriller is his funniest and sharpest novel to date.
Set in a south Florida swarming with ripoff artists, crooked cops, nude
sunbathers and corrupt politicians, it features a Mafia-connected plastic
surgeon with butterfingers, a bitchy Hollywood starlet, a remarkably
inept hit man and a pompous TV journalist "nationally famous for getting
beaten up on camera." Retired state investigator Mick Stranahan, the
hero, kills an intruder in his seaside house on stilts by impaling him
with a trophy spearfish. Then one of his five ex-wives is found drowned.
Due to an unresolved missing-person case, someone wants Stranahan eliminated,
and his efforts to flush out the mixed bag of bad guys let Hiaasen (
Tourist Season ; Double Wham my ) display his manic sense of humor at
every turn. The cynical sleuth has just the right mix of sour and smarts
to get a fix on a mad world. This wickedly amusing story is the work
of a keen satirist who off-handedly exposes the moral rot at every level
of society.
