When Lane Coolman's car is rear-ended on the road to the Florida Keys, the accident is no accident. Behind the wheel of the offending car is Merry Mansfield, the eponymous Razor Girl, so named for her eye-popping twist on an otherwise unexciting scam. But this is only the beginning of a series of events that spiral crazily out of control while unleashing some of the wildest characters Carl Hiaasen has ever set loose. There's Martin Trebeaux, the owner of Semimental Journey's, a company that steals sand from one beach to replace erosion on anotherBuck Nance, a Wisconsin accordionist who rebrands himself the star of a redneck reality show called Bayou Brethren, a street psycho known as Blister who's more Buck Nance than Buck could ever beBrock Richardson, a Miami product-liability lawyer who's getting dangerously and deformingly hooked on the very product he's litigating against and Andrew Yancy formerly Detective Yancy, first introduced to fans in Bad Monkey. Busted down the Health Department after accosting a girlfriend's husband with a DustBuster, Yancy believes that if he can solve a high-profile murder case, he'll win his police badge back and leave the roach patrol behind forever. The Razor Girl is the key to his future will be as startling as anything else he encounters along the way, including the giant Gambian rats that are haunting his restaurant inspections.
