- Synopsis
- Coming as an Apple Original series from Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence and starring Vince Vaughn • A wickedly funny novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me in which the greedy, the corrupt, and the degraders of what&’s left of pristine Florida—now, of the Bahamas as well—get their comeuppance. &“[A] comedic marvel … [Hiaasen] hasn&’t written a novel this funny since Skinny Dip.&”—The New York Times Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff&’s office—has a human arm in his freezer. There&’s a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it&’s not called the roach patrol for nothing). But first—this being Hiaasen country—Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy&’s new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen&’s greatest characters.
