Skin Tight

Written by Carl Hiaasen

Narrated by George K. Wilson

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

[Jerry Weis · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Meh, definitely not one of his better books. The writing feels forced and contrived in places. I gave up after the ridiculous part about the protagonist single-handedly hog tying and dragging someone behind a boat in a flash while five people watched, unable to raise a hand stop him.
