Hurricane Andrew has left South Florida in ruins. Insurance companies, lookie-loos,
looters and con artists descend like sharks in a blood frenzy. Skink stars as a slightly
deranged pest control specialist --- but if you know Skink like we know Skink, the pests
are not the sort that we customarily hire exterminators for. Hiaasen characteristically
informs his readers of our social ills and bottom-feeding tenancies and all without
preaching. STORMY WEATHER is one of Hiaasen's most popular books.
