Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen

Palmer Stoat setter i gang mer en han kunne ha forestilt seg da han kaster restene etter etter et gatekjøkkenmåltid ut av bilvinduet sitt. Dette blir observert av miljøfantasten Twilly Spree, som bestemmer seg for å gi ham en lærepenge. Spree bestemmer seg for å ødelegge forretningsmannen Stoats siste prosjekt : å bygge et luksuriøst leilighetsanlegg på en av Floridas ubebodde øyer.

Omtale fra forlaget

When Palmer Stoat notices the black pickup truck following him on the highway, he fears his precious Range Rover is about to be carjacked. 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 of 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 of it had Twilly not discovered that Stoat is one of Florida's cockiest and most powerful political fixers, whose latest project was the "malling" of a pristine Gulf Coast island. Now the real Hiaasen-variety fun begins. Dognapping eco-terrorists, bogus big-game hunters, a Republicans-only hooker, an infamous ex-governor who's gone back to nature, thousands of singing toads and a Labrador retriever greater than the sum of his labrador parts - these are only some of the denizens of Carl Hiaasen's outrageously funny new novel. Brilliantly twisted entertainment wrapped around a powerful ecologiacal plea, Sick Puppy gleefully lives up to its title and gives us Hiaasen at his riotous muckraking best.
