Getting rich quick is never easy...

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.

Sending off to kbgoffe ~~ Enjoy!!

Thank you thank you thank you! This arrived over the weekend while I was gone. When I called to check-in and see how my husband was doing he told me I had a package from Texas. It was hard knowing it would be a few days before I got to open the package. I can't wait to read this book. I just love Carl Hiaasen. You are the best MsPooh! Going on my TBR pile.

PS I loved the label you have on the last page. I may just have to copy your great idea. The panda is adorable. Thanks!

This book was not quite as funny as some of his other books but I still really enjoyed it. Just reaffirmed why I don't play the lottery. Mr. Hiaasen sure can take a plot all over the place and still have it make sense. I really enjoy reading his books.

Thank you Ms. Pooh!

This book is now off in the mail. Enjoy!

The book arrived safely today. :) Thanks so much! It's going into the TBR pile, to be read and then released again.
