Description
When a severed arm is discovered by a couple on honeymoon in the Florida Keys, former police detective—now reluctant restaurant inspector—Andrew Yancy senses that something doesn't add up. Determined to get his badge back, he undertakes an unofficial investigation of his own.
Andrew's search for the truth takes him to the Bahamas, where a local man, with the help of a very bad monkey (who allegedly worked on the Pirates of the Caribbean movies), is doing everything in his power to prevent a developer from building a new tourist resort on the island, with deadly consequences...
Outrageous, hilarious and addictive, this is the unique Carl Hiaasen at his absolute best. Bad Monkey will have you on the edge of your seat and laughing out loud.
