Description: "Dave Barry's first novel, Big Trouble, was not only 'like
Elmore Leonard on laughing gas' (People), it also allowed the writer to
break out of his stifling role as America's funniest Pulitzer Prize-winning
columnist to become one of America's funniest New York Times
bestselling novelists.
"Now he follows his acclaimed debut with a book that 'leads readers into a
crazy complexity of money laundering, drug dealing, murder, sex, violence,
hijacking, and undercover work' (Library Journal) - not to mention
'barbs aimed at overbearing mothers, corrupt officials, inept authorities,
and, of course, the American crime novel itself' (Publishers
Weekly)."
