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 ever-where even a plastic surgeon with extremely shaky hands waits to wring Stranahan's neck. 990633 1989 Skin Tight total:1902|5:384|4:842|3:585|2:81|1:10| 1902 7215 2332 128 4 1 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 06 04:50:29 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 06 05:02:06 -0700 2007

3. A fictional thinly disquised Geraldo Rivera is as lame as the real one.
