DOUBLE WHAMMY

ISBN: 0446352764

So you thought fishing was a relaxing sport. Think again. In big-time bass angling competition, the contestants are serious --- dead serious. Al Decker is a would-be private eye who stumbles onto something smelly in a Florida swamp. Is Dickie Lockhart, king of the TV fishing shows, cheating to maintain his title? In this, the second of Hiaasen's South Florida swamp scamp mysteries, we're introduced to Skink and his pal, patrolman Jim Tile. Who would have thought you could combine Tele-evangelists, bass fishing shows and a deranged ex-governor into one plot. Oh, right --- this is Hiaasen. Anything goes.
