Skink--no surrender - carl hiaasen

Carl Hiaasen serves up his unique brand of swamp justice in the New York Times bestseller Skink--No Surrender .

A National Book Award Longlist Selection When your cousin goes missing under suspicious circumstances, who do you call? Theres only one man for the job: a half-crazed, half-feral, one-eyed ex-governor named Skink.

Skink joins 14-year-old Richard on a breakneck chase across Florida, undaunted by lightning storms, poisonous snakes, flying bullets, and giant gators.

There are a million places cousin Malley could be, a million unpleasant fates that might have befallen her, but one thing is certain: in the Florida swamp, justice is best served wild.
