But Twilly Spree, the man tailing Stoat, has vengeance, not SUVs, on his mind. Idealistic, wealthy, and pathologically short-tempered, Twilly has dedicated himself to saving Florida's wilderness from runaway destruction. He favors unambiguous political statements -- like torching Jet-Skis or blowing up banks -- that leave his victims shaken but re-educated.
After watching Stoat blithely dump a trail of fast-food litter out the window, Twilly decides to teach him a lesson. Thus, Stoat's prize Range Rover becomes home to a horde of dung beetles. This could have been the end, had Twilly not discovered that Stoat is one of Florida's cockiest and most powerful political fixers, whose latest project is the "malling" of a pristine Gulf Coast island. Now the real Hiaasen-variety fun begins....
Brilliantly twisted entertainment wrapped around a powerful ecological plea, Sick Puppy is Carl Hiaasen at his riotous and muckracking best.
