Ex-flic retiré dans sa case sur pilotis au large de Miami, Mick Stranahan a connu une existence mouvementée, quoique fort simple à résumer : cinq cadavres à son actif, cinq divorces à son passif. Aujourd'hui, il n'aspire plus qu'à couler des jours paisibles en compagnie de son barracuda. Quelqu'un, en revanche, semble avoir d'autres plans pour lui, si l'on en croit l'intrusion d'un homme armé dans sa cahute. Sans compter la fâcheuse tendance qu'a Chimio, ce colosse au visage grêlé, à vouloir contrarier sa sérénité. Reste à savoir quel cerveau commandite ces incessantes attaques manquées. La liste des ennemis de Stranahan est longue, à commencer par un certain chirurgien plastique dont les oeuvres ne semblent pas franchement cousues main… [4e de couv.]

Work Description
Somebody wants Mick Stranahan dead. Mick is sure of this, because he just had to dispatch a pistol-packing intruder with the help of a stuffed marlin head. But who would want to hurt a former Florida state investigator? The answer is plenty of people as Stranahan soon finds himself acquainted with a litter of nefarious players, including a hit man whose skin problems could fill a comprehensive (if bizarre) medical textbook, a lawyer of questionable repute who advertises on billboards, and a TV show host whose taste for sensationalism is exceeded only by his vanity. The whole thing gets downright harrowing for the ex-cop in one of Hiaasen's most breathtaking, madcap romps everywhere even a plastic surgeon with extremely shaky hands waits to wring Stranahan's neck....
