Synopsis

Bestselling author Carl Hiaasen serves up a humorous helping of “taut, fastpaced action … crisp and hot” (The New York Times).

After dispatching a pistol-packing intruder from his home with the help of a stuffed Marlin head, Mick Stranahan can’t deny that someone is out to get him.

His now-deceased intruder carries no ID, and as a former Florida state investigator, Stranahan knows there are plenty of potential culprits. His long list of enemies includes an off point hit man, a personal injury lawyer of billboard fame, a notoriously irritating TV journalist, and a fumbling plastic surgeon.

Now, if he wants to keep fishing into his golden years, Stranahan has no choice but to come out of retirement to close this one last case …

“Hiaasen display[s] his manic sense of humor at every turn … wickedly amusing.”—Publishers Weekly

What I learned from Skin Tight... 1. A stuffed marlin makes a good weapon. 2. A ex-Amish hit man with a weed whacker for an arm and a skin condition shouldn't be laughed at. 3. A fictional thinly disquised Geraldo Rivera is as lame as the real one. 4, I want to be Mick Stranahan (without all those peopl......more

Goodreads review by Scott

If you believe that Florida is the sewer where a majority of the country's human waste ends up, you'll love Carl Hiaasen. A former police reporter for the Miami Herald, Hiaasen clearly has a love-hate relationship with the state he resides in. Mostly hate. But he shares his vitriol with a smile and......more
