A hilarious and scathing novel about a crazed and determined man who has devoted his strange existence to saving southern Florida from con artists and carpetbaggers after a hurricane hits.

When a ferocious hurricane rips through southern Florida, insurance fraudsters, amateur occultists, and ex-cons waste no time in swarming over the disaster area.

But when Max vanishes, Bonnie, aided by a mysterious young man with a tranquiliser gun and a roomful of human skulls, has to follow her only clue: a runaway monkey.
