Off the back cover.
Somebody wants Mick Stranahan dead. Mick is sure of this, because he just had to dispatch a pistol packing intruder with the help of a stuffed Marlin head. But who would want to hurt a formker Florida state investigator? The answer is plenty of people-as Stranhan soon finds himself acquainted with a litter od nefarious players, including a hitman whose skin problems could fill a comprehensive( if Bizarre) medica textbook, a lawyer of questionable repute who advertises on billboards, and a tv show host whose taste for sensationalism is exceeded only by his vanity. The whole thing gets downright harrowing for the ec-cop in one og Hiaasen's most breathtaking, madcap romps ever-where even a plastic surgeon with extremely shaky hands waits to wring Stranahan's neck...
The wackiest, funniest and entertaining Hiassen I have read to date. Don't wait...it's a must read for any Hiassen fan.
