Book description
When someone delivers an alligator to Judge Bob Gibbs' porch, there's
no shortage of suspects - hard-sentencing, womanising redneck 'Maximum
Bob' is pretty much the most unpopular man in Florida. Throw into the
mix the Crowe clan - about as primitive and aggressive as any alligator
- a doped-up doctor on early release with a tag, quick-witted probation
officer Kathy Baker, a mermaid and a long-dead slave girl called Wanda,
and things get a tad complicated. And inevitably, they don't work out
the way you might expect... Elmore Leonard has written more than forty
books during his phenomenal career. Many of his books have been made
into successful movies, including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Rum Punch
(which became Tarantino's Jackie Brown) and Killshot. In 2006 he was
awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger.
