But Twilly Spree the man tailing Stoat has vengeance not sport-utility vehicles on his mind.Idealistic independently wealthy and pathologically short-tempered Twilly has dedicated himself to saving Florida's wilderness from runaway destruction. He favours unambiguous political statements - such as torching Jet-Skis or blowing up banks - that leave his human targets 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 prized Range Rover becomes home to a horde of hungry dung beetles. Which could have been the end to it 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...Dognapping eco-terrorists bogus big-time hunters an infamous ex-governor who's gone back to nature thousands of singing toads . . . these are only some of the denizens of Carl Hiaasen's outrageously funny novel.
