Weird news reporter Alexander Strange is munching grouper balls and sipping a Cuba Libre when a naked body floats up near his fishing trawler in Goodland, Florida. The face of the corpse has been devoured by sea creatures, but Alexander knows who she is, and from the ligature marks on her neck, it appears she's been strangled. Or hanged. And now the cops think Alexander may be responsible. He needs help, and it arrives in the form of a retired urinal-mat-salesman-turned detective who swears he owes his life to a mysterious guardian angel. Then Alexander meets a public defender whose client has just been found hanged in the county jail. Two hangings? Days apart? This is too weird. They team up to discover who is behind this mayhem. And the clock is ticking. They better get to the bottom of this soon or they may find themselves at the end of a rope.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Weird news columnist Alexander Strange's day began when someone poisoned his fried okra. Bad enough, but, worse, it was meant for his dog, Fred. Now he's being framed for the hanging death of a colleague. Who's behind this and why is he in their sights?When the going gets weird, Strange gets going. He starts by corralling some allies--a retired urinal mat salesman turned private eye and a gorgeous public defender who wants him to abandon his catch and release love life. She also wants him to get rid of his shippmate, Mona, the mannequin.This unlikely crew must get to the bottom of who is behind the mayhem or they, too, may find themselves at the end of a rope. Along the way, they journey to the hottest new tourist attraction in Florida, a religious theme park where dinosaurs are vegetarians, and yacht with a Jell-O filled swimming pool where the Boogie Barbies are scheduled to perform. And they must dodge Stalin's Hangmen, Miami-based thugs for hire, who want Strange dead.And what's with the chicken feathers? Seller Inventory # CIN173429034XA
