Synopsis"Twists and turns with breathtaking speed...You're gonna like this ride." - Washington Post Book World 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 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.
This is another great read for Carl Hiaasen fans. This time, he writes about the murky waters & big money involved in fishing tournaments & the crazy names given to the vast selection of lures used. The Florida locations are accurate & it's fun when you recognize the places you've been....the story has the usual twists & turns with characters you've come to love, plus some new heroes & villains! It's a must for fans & new readers alike!
