Synopsis: SICK PUPPY: 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’s bills and in the company of an infamous ex-governor who’s gone back to nature with a vengeance. SKIN TIGHT: Somebody wants Mick Stranahan dead. He knows because he’s just had to spear an intruder with a stuffed marlin’s head. And that wasn’t the first time. There was the plastic surgeon with extremely shaky hands… the personal-injury lawyer with the beaming billboard face… the vanity-crazed star of TV’s In Your Face... the high-stepping hit man with the moonscape skin. Not to mention the barracuda. The whole thing is downright harrowing.
