From Publishers Weekly
Hiaasen's latest thriller is his funniest and sharpest novel to date. Set in a south Florida swarming with ripoff artists, crooked cops, nude sunbathers and corrupt politicians, it features a Mafia-connected plastic surgeon with butterfingers, a bitchy Hollywood starlet, a remarkably inept hit man and a pompous TV journalist "nationally famous for getting beaten up on camera." Retired state investigator Mick Stranahan, the hero, kills an intruder in his seaside house on stilts by impaling him with a trophy spearfish. Then one of his five ex-wives is found drowned. Due to an unresolved missing-person case, someone wants Stranahan eliminated, and his efforts to flush out the mixed bag of bad guys let Hiaasen ( Tourist Season ; Double Wham my ) display his manic sense of humor at every turn. The cynical sleuth has just the right mix of sour and smarts to get a fix on a mad world. This wickedly amusing story is the work of a keen satirist who off-handedly exposes the moral rot at every level of society. 50,000 first printing; $50,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild, Mystery Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates.

Am signing this over to myself as TheOtherMrsH so that I can take it with me to Holland when I visit.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Dit boek komt uit de boekendoos die ik van Elefteria heb gekregen.
Het ligt nu op een bankje dat uitkijkt op de gracht rond het centrum van wageningen (Als je de Hoogstraat uitloopt, links, en dan het bankje bij het water dat bij de stenen brug staat.)

Aan de vinder: Gefeliciteerd met je gevonden boek! Ik zou het erg leuk vinden als je hier iets verteld over je vondst. Dat kan anoniem, maar je kunt je ook – gratis - als BookCrossing-lid aanmelden, en zo dit boek (en anderen) op hun reis volgen en sturen. Als je wilt, kun je daarbij mij, paperfish, als referral opgeven.
Daarna staat het je geheel vrij dit boek zelf te lezen, het direct door te geven aan een ander, of het opnieuw ergens neer te leggen zodat een volgende lezer het kan vinden.
Hoe dan ook, veel plezier ermee!
