From Library Journal: JoLayne Lucks has one of two winning lottery tickets each worth a cool $14 million. She plans to spend it rescuing a local plot of swampland from a strip mall developer. The holders of the other winning ticket, however, are Bode Gazzer and his sidekick, Chubb, who want the whole $28 million. Afire with paramilitary fervor, Bode and Chubb need the cash to bankroll the start-up of the White Clarion Aryans before NATO takes over America with a handicapped parking sticker scam. They steal JoLayne's ticket, but before they can cash it she mounts a hot pursuit with the help of local journalist Tom Krome. As they chase Bode and Chubb through the swamps and sleazy dives, dodging bullets and local religious fanatics, Tom and JoLayne leave a wake of mayhem and hilarity. This is Hiaasen at his wacky best. A steamy amalgam of raunch, righteousness, and riotous laughs. Highly recommended. (Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
My thoughts: As always, a rolicking good read by Hiaasen.

Taken to the used bookstore in an attempt to rid my shelf of some heavier hardbacks.
As noted above, this was turned in at the used book store. I'm just going through and making official release notes on non-JE'd books since we have the "controlled release" option now.
