Charles "Chaz" Perrone fancies himself a take-charge kind of guy. So when this "biologist by default" suspects that his curvaceous wife, Joey, has stumbled onto a profitable pollution scam he's running on behalf of Florida agribusiness mogul Red Hammernut, he sets out right away to solve the problem--by heaving Joey off the deck of a luxury cruise liner and into the Atlantic Ocean, far from Key West. But--whoops!--Joey, a former swimming champ, doesn't drown. Instead, as Carl Hiaasen tells in his 10th adult novel, Skinny Dip, she makes her way back to shore, thanks both to a wayward bale of Jamaican marijuana and lonerish ex-cop Mick Stranahan (Skin Tight, 1989), and then launches a bogus blackmail campaign that's guaranteed to drive her lazy, libidinous hubby into a self-protective frenzy.

Haven't read it yet, I love all of his children's books though.

travleing to fellow bookcrosser for a trade :)THANKS SO MUCH -
Sent out 8-24-06

received in the mail from a fellow bookcrosser. What a nice surprise when returning from Holidays!!

Received in trade from sweetybeans for the Sisterhood of the travelling pants. I quite enjoyed reading this one! Made me laugh out loud a few times and even inspired me to look up the Everglades Conservation projects on the www. Author does a great job of making us HATE Mr Perrone, or anyone we ever meet again called Charles or Chaz. icky!

Going to loan to a non-bookcrossing friend.
