If you know and love Carl Hiaasen already, then all I need to say is this is more of the marvellous same. If you don't know Hiaasen then be warned: his books are full of frenetic, manic action. People with extraordinary names will burst into your life and even when they have gone Hiaasen's powerful ecological message will remain... If you like your crime fiction fast-moving, wisecracking and almost surrealistically funny, this is your book.
When eco-enthusiast Twilly Spree spots someone in a Range Rover dumping litter onto the freeway, he decides to teach him a lesson - only to discover that his target is Palmer Stoat, one of Florida"s cockiest and most powerful political fixers, whose current project just happens to be the "mailing" of a Gulf Coast island... A quick spot of dognapping later and the pathologically short-tempered Twilly finds himself embroiled in a murky world of singing toads, bogus big-game hunters, large vet bills and in the company of an infamous ex-governor who"s gone back to nature with a vengeance. With SICK PUPPY, Carl Hiaasen unleashes another outrageously funny tale that gleefully lives up to its title and proves yet again that Hiaasen is master of the satirical thriller.
