Basket Case, by Carl Hiaasen; Alfred A. Knopf, pub.
I'm becoming a huge Carl Hiaasen fan. What's not to love? The guy writes a great story.
In Basket Case, Jack Tagger is a washed up investigative reporter now assigned to the obituary desk after pissing off the new boss during a shareholder's meeting.
In the meantime, a has been rock star mysteriously drowns leaving behind a very young rather merry widow.
Jack smells something stinky in the Florida swamps and it ain't clam chowder that's gone over.
Funny, ironic, a bit of romance thrown in. Thoroughly entertaining.
