REVIEW: BAD MONKEY
AUTHOR: Carl Hiaasen
Andrew Yancy, busted down
from detective to “roach patrol” in the Florida Keys, is determined to get his
job back. When a man’s left arm is found afloat after a boating accident, Yancy
jumps at the chance to 1) solve what he senses is a murder and 2) employ the
services of Miami-Dade medical examiner Rosa Campesino to assist in his noble
cause and because he just digs her.
What Yancy doesn’t realize is
that, between the bizarre exploits of his married lover (whose husband Yancy
attacked from the rear – so to speak – with a vacuum) and the twisted tale of
lies surrounding the man once connected to the arm, he’s stepping into a rat’s
nest of trouble.
