  • Wisecracking ex-jock detective + wild sidekick
  • Breakneck twists rival buzzer-beater finishes

If Myron Bolitar's backstage pass to basketball's sleaze made you grin, R.J. Decker's front-row seat to bass-fishing corruption will feel like home. Hiaasen swaps hardwood for brackish water, but the formula hits hard: a wisecracking ex-jock investigator, a lunatic sidekick who makes Win look civilized, and a tournament scene so rigged you'll taste the fraud. The pacing moves like a fast break, the wise guys talk like your favorite trash-talkers, and the moral compass spins just as wildly.

every twist lands like a buzzer-beater you never saw coming.

Decker digs through Florida's tournament circuit the way Myron navigated agent wars—sarcastic, relentless, and allergic to pretense. The adrenaline's real, the body count climbs, and every twist lands like a buzzer-beater you never saw coming.

Swap hardwood for brackish water and let the corruption flow.
