Double Whammy
FamFatale avatar reviewed on + 369 more book reviews


R. J. Decker, star tenant of the local trailer park and neophyte private eye is fishing for a killer. Thanks to a sportsman's scam that is anything but sportsmanlike, there's a body floating in Coon Bog, Florida - and a lot that's rotten in the murky waters of big-stakes, large-mouth bass tournaments. Here Decker will team up with a half-blind, half-mad hermit with an appetite for road kill; dare to kiss his ex-wife while she's in bed with her new husband; and face deadly TV evangelists; dangerously seductive women, and a pistol-toting redneck with a pit bull on his arm. For while the "double whammy" is the lure, first prize is for the most ingenious murder.
