Query: One of his best

You'll either love Carl Hiaasen's books or you'll loathe them. His usual themes are at play here (defending the ecosystem, corporate land deals, corrupt politicians), as well as well-worn characters like Skink and Jim Tile. This, Hiaasen's 2nd book, is set apart by the sheer outrageousness of the plot...corruption and murder in the bass fishing industry!? This one makes Sick Puppy or Stormy Weather look like Grisham novels.If you've never read Hiaasen, this is a good place to start. If you're already a fan you should've read this one already. Be warned, though...this may be the most gruesome one of the bunch. One of the baddies spends half the book with a decaying severed dog's head clamped to his arm. And, while most of Hiaasen's books carry a serious moral message, it's never fed to us in such a shocking manner. No spoonful of sugar here.
