. J. Decker, star tenant of the local trailer park and
neophyte private eye, is fishing for a killer. Thanks to a
sportsman's scam that's anything but sportsmanlike, there's
a body floating in Coon Bog, Florida-and a lot that's rotten
in the murky waters of big-stakes, large-mouth bass
tournaments. Here Decker will team up with a half-blind,
half-mad hermit with an appetite for road kill; dare to kiss
his ex-wife while's she's in bed with her new husband; and
face deadly TV evangelists, dangerously seductive women, and
a pistol-toting redneck with a pit bull on his arm. And here
his own life becomes part of the stakes. For while the
"double whammy" is the lure, first prize is for the most
ingenious murder.
