Book Synopsis

''Follow the adventures of a news-photographer-turned-private-eye as he seeks truth, justice, and an affair with his ex-wife'' (The New York Times) in this hilarious caper from bestselling author Carl Hiaasen.

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.
