Klappentext
Richard's cousin is missing, and his best hope of finding her rests with the wily, one-eyed, ex-governor of Florida. Carl Hiaasen introduces his iconic character Skink to a younger audience in this nail-biting adventure!A National Book Award Longlist Selection
Classic Malley: her parents are about to ship her off to boarding school, so she takes off with some guy she met online... Poor Richard: he's less of a rebel than Malley, and a lot less trusting. He knows his cousin is in trouble before she does. Wild Skink: he's a ragged, one-eyed, ex-governor of Florida, and enough of a renegade to think he can track Malley down. With Richard riding shotgun, this unlikely pair scour the state, undaunted by blinding storms, crazed pigs, flying bullets, and giant gators.
In Carl Hiaasen's outrageous, hilarious, and wildly dangerous state of Florida, there are a million places an outlaw might stash a teenage girl. A million unpleasant ways to die. And two who will risk everything to rescue a friend . . . and to, hopefully, exact a bit of swamp justice.
Biografie
Carl Hiaasen, Reporter und Starkolumnist des Miami Harald, ist dem Establishment von Florida verhasst, greift er doch mit spitzer Feder genau jene Themen auf, die die skrupellosen Geschäftemacher im Sunshine State nicht an die große Glocke hängen wollen: Profitgier, Touristennepp und Umweltzerstörung. Seine Romane zeichnen sich durch spannende Plots, fräsenden Humor und pointierte Dialoge aus. Hiaasen gilt als bissiger Kritiker des amerikanischen Lifestyle. Carl Hiaasen
