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.
