Fiction. Mystery. Thriller. HTML:Bestselling author Carl Hiaasen serves up a humorous helping of "taut, fast-paced action...crisp and hot? (The New York Times). 
After dispatching a pistol-packing intruder from his home with the help of a stuffed Marlin head, Mick Stranahan can't deny that someone is out to get him. His now-deceased intruder carries no I.D., and as a former Florida state investigator, Stranahan knows there are plenty of potential culprits. His long list of enemies includes an off point hit man, a personal injury lawyer of billboard fame, a notoriously irritating TV journalist, and a fumbling plastic surgeon.
Now, if he wants to keep fishing into his golden years, Stranahan has no choice but to come out of retirement to close this one last case

Another Hiaasen book, you may ask, reasonably?

They are very good (somewhat funny) mental palette-cleansers, is all I can say. This involves a far too obvious authorial bad-ass stand-in, a more loose approximation of how people actually behave, and a series of events involving a stunningly inept plastic surgeon, his hired one-armed assassin, and more blackmailers than anybody could shake a weed-whacker at. But it all comes together nicely at the end, and if you need a book to help get your head out of whatever heaviness it is in, this is perfect. ( )

Sometimes when the news is bad, the only thing you can do is to turn to the razor-sharp wit of Carl Hiaasen who never fails to make me laugh. In this book he turns his gimlet eye to Florida’s plastic surgery industry. You’ll think twice about booking a facelift after reading this book. ( )

Very entertaining book, and a good narrator. The story was interesting (as long as you don't try to take it seriously) and humorous. I like Carl Hiaasen's humor; it's a lot like Dave Barry, a coworker from the Miami Herald, but perhaps a bit more mature. They have done things together, and I can imagine it's pretty funny.

He mostly makes fun of Miami, an easy target. Also in this story, Geraldo. Some of the action is pretty outrageous, but lots of fun. The criminals are mostly complete idiots, so there's never very much suspense about something bad happening to anyone who matters (cold, I know, but they mostly deserve it). Mick Stranahan always seems to be on top of everything that happens, more or less; you can't always predict what a complete idiot will do, but he still comes out on top.

In Skin Tight former Florida Attorney General's Office investigator Mick Stranahan is pursued by several contract killers when someone mistakenly thinks Stranahan is close to solving a four year old missing person case. Like all Carl Hiassen books there is humor and weirdness. Among the characters are a greedy incompetent plastic surgeon, a seven foot tall hitman with bad skin, a investigative report who is a lot Geraldo Rivera and a bunch of cops and other Miami low life types. When the hitman isn't killing people he works as a bouncer at a nightclub called Gay Bidet. The incompetent plastic surgeon also deals in corrupt real estate practices.Will Mick figure who is sending hitmen to kill him and why? ( )

"Skin Tight" was hilarious. It's been forever since I've read this. I was falling over laughing. Carl Hiaasen doesn't mention the FL environment very much in this one, which is rare. "Skin Tight" almost has his full cast of FL characters with Nick Stranahan--less Skink. It's a great book. ( )
