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 favors
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 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 to it had Twilly not discovered that Stoat is one of
Florida's cockiest and most powerful political fixers,
whose latest project is the "malling" of a pristine Gulf
Coast island.
