“Follow the adventures of a news-photographer-turned-private-eye as he seeks truth, justice, and an affair with his ex-wife” (The New York Times) in this hilarious caper from bestselling author Carl Hiaasen.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’s anything but sportsmanlike, there’s a body floating in … 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. And here his own life becomes part of the stakes. For while the “double whammy” is the lure, first prize is for the most ingenious murder.

As a fan, his books are always entertaining on dark humour side.
Good Florida humor a bit tedious at times. Good read
Hiassen books are always informative and funny in their solution of problems. He is a great patron of nature and keeping Florida from turning into one big hotel or subdivision. Leave a lot for nature.
Great beach read. Lots of fun.
Carl Hiasson’s outrageous reality never fails to entertain.

Hiassen is a genius. His plotting is imaginative and very original. His characters are full-rounded, He writes cri me novels that are engrossing and yet he tucks in many a chuckle.
Skink has got to be real. He is so great.

This author is one of my favorites! He always writes entertaining, provocative books. The characters are unforgettable and the storyline unpredictable .
I love Carl Hiassen. Growing up in South Florida his writing is very recognizable as far as characters. Some violence but more of poetic justice rather than gory.
