A hilarious full throttle ride through the Florida Everglades by the most original, offbeat crime writer working today.

Joey Perrone is a woman with a mission. She's just been pushed overboard from a cruise liner by Chaz, her scumbag husband, and survived to tell the tale. But rather than reporting him to the police, she decides to stay dead and - with a little help from her friends and a few of Chaz's enemies - instead of getting mad, she's going to get even.

Filled with a host of endearingly offbeat characters, and a narrative that is hilarious, romantic and thought-provoking by turns, Skinny Dip takes us on a journey through the warped politics of Southern Florida and through the madness created by the human heart.

Praise for Skinny Dip

Slick, swift and gloriously funny

Sunday Telegraph

The undisputed master of organized chaos... His satire is a fierce unmuzzled snarl, swiftly followed by a painfully ironic bite. Quite simply, brilliant

The Sunday Times

America's finest satirical novelist... the blazing conscience of the sunshine state

Observer

Florida's poet laureate - the chronicler of its corruption, craziness and exploited ecology... a unique satirical talent

Financial Times

The funniest crime novelist to put pen to paper

Evening Standard
