Wrecker -- Carl Hiaasen

<b>Wrecker needs to deal with smugglers, grave robbers, and pooping iguanas--just as soon as he finishes Zoom school. Welcome to another wild adventure in Carl Hiaasen's Florida!</b> <p/>Valdez Jones VIII calls himself Wrecker because his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather salvaged shipwrecks for a living. <p/>So is it destiny, irony, or just bad luck when Wrecker comes across a speedboat that has run hard aground on a sand flat? The men in the boat don't want Wrecker to call for help--in fact, they'll pay him to forget he ever saw them. <p/>Wrecker would be happy to forget, but he keeps seeing these men all over Key West--at the marina, in the cemetery, even right outside his own door. And now they want more than his silence--they want a lookout. <p/>He'll have to dive deep into their shady dealings to figure out a way to escape <i>this</i> tangled net. . . .<br><br><b>Author:</b> Carl Hiaasen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Alfred A.
