Disgraced detective Andrew Yancey is now a health inspector,
shutting down restaurants for rats and roaches. Hollywood agent Lane Coolman
represents Buck Nance, a reality tv star, in the “Duck Dynasty” mode. Only Buck
is really an accordion player from suburban Milwaukee.
When Merry Mansfield rear-ends Coolman’s car on the road to
the Florida Keys, it starts a chain reaction of kidnapping, a hate crime
murder, and Mafia business deals. Yancey, who is trying to get his detective’s
shield back, is battling his neighbor, a product liability lawyer, who wants to
build a McMansion that will block Yancey’s view. Giant Gambian pouched rats
have appeared in a local restaurant, and it falls to Yancey to capture the
beasts.
All the elements of a Hiassen book—a beautiful woman
outwitting the system, unscrupulous Florida businessmen, invasive species, and
a character down on his luck—are here and add to the surreal mix that makes his
books twisted and funny.
