Bestselling novelist Carl Hiaasen is back with another hysterical mystery adventure for young readers, set in the Florida Keys. Noah's dad has a little problem with anger control. He tried to stop the Coral Queen casino boat's illegal dumping . . . by sinking the boat. But his bold protest fizzles: within days the casino is back in business, and Noah's dad is behind bars and out of action. Now Noah is determined to succeed where his father failed. But even though pumping raw sewage into the waters of the Florida Keys is both gross and against the law, turns out it's near impossible to catch the flusher—especially when he's already bamboozled the prosecutors, the local press, and even the Coast Guard. But Noah's got a few allies. There's his little sister, Abbey, an unreformed childhood biter; Lice Peeking, a half-soused ex-mate of the Coral Queen who is willing to testify . . . for a price; and Shelly, a bighearted bartender with even bigger biceps. Okay, so the odds aren't good. But Noah has an ace up his sleeve—a plan so crazy it just might stop the polluting, save the beaches, and prove to the world that it's the owner of the Coral Queen, and not his dad, who is full of . . . crud.


達礁島群的精采冒險故事。挪亞的父親性情暴躁，想設法阻止珊瑚皇后賭博場的輪船違法傾倒……他打算擊沈那艘船。不過這項抗議失敗了；不出幾天，賭場仍舊照常營業，挪亞的父親則遭到囚禁，也無力反擊。挪亞下定決心要完成父親未能完成的任務，可是，即使在佛羅里達礁島群排放未處理的汙水既惡劣又違法，要抓到元凶卻幾乎是不可能的，特別是當兇手買通了檢察官、當地記者，甚至海岸巡防隊，更是有如天方夜譚。不過挪亞有一些盟友：他那位稚氣未消的妹妹璦比；珊瑚皇后之前的合作夥伴萊斯．比金願意出庭作證……因為有獎賞；還有雪力，一位熱心助人且有著壯碩二頭肌的調酒師。沒錯，情勢是不樂觀，不過挪亞手裡暗藏底牌──一項十分瘋狂的計畫，但卻可以阻卻汙染、拯救沙灘，並向世界證明造成汙染的兇手是珊瑚皇后的主人，而不是他的父親。
