Meet 22-year-old Cherry Pye (née Cheryl Bunterman), a pop star since she was fourteen-and about to attempt a comeback from her latest drug-and-alcohol disaster.

Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her "undercover stunt double," Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too "indisposed"-- meaning wasted -- to go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott.

Now the challenge for Cherry's handlers (über-stage mother; horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin publicists; weed whacker-wielding bodyguard) is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry's public -- and from Cherry herself. The situation is more complicated than they know. Ann has had a bewitching encounter with Skink, the unhinged former governor of Florida living wild in a mangrove swamp, and now he's heading for Miami to find her . . .

Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink track down Ann DeLusia before Cherry's motley posse does? All will be revealed in this hilarious spin on life in the celebrity fast lane. ... Read more

Politicians, nude dancers, and various lowlifes
This is one of the authors older novels.It is available used, or combined as part of a set.The novel starts out as a bachelor party the night before the a man is getting married - a boys night out at a bar with nude dancers.It might have gone on with nothing but drunken memories, but things get out of hand when the groom is assaulted and one of his "friends" takes pictures.

Action develops form there.Things could have been quietly hushed up, but a self righteous judge refuses to cooperate, and events gradually get out of hand.A member of Congress has been naughty, a woman dancer is trying to regain custody of her daughter, awarded to her lowlife husband by the self righteous judge, and various people have agendas for msking money by fair means or foul.

A private interest group (PIG) has an interest in the Congressman.You will find commentary on various issues including political wheeling and dealing, environmental pollution, child custody, and (as the title suggests) a particular form of adult entertainment - what the government would refer to as a service industry.

The novel has violence, language, and sexual content. ... Read more

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Skinny Dip is a caper novel by Carl Hiaasen first published in 2004. Set in South Florida in the course of April, 2003, it is about a woman, Joey Perrone, who takes revenge on her cheating husband after he has tried to murder her. It is also one of Hiaasens more topical novels, since the plot also revolves around the ongoing restoration of the Everglades to a natural habitat. A skinny-dipper is someone who swims in the nude, thus showing all their skin. Skinny Dip refers to the fact that when Joey Perrone is thrown overboard the impact when hitting the surface of the water tears off all her clothes so that on the following morning her rescuer finds her not only completely exhausted but also stark naked. Also, throughout the novel people find themselves in embarrassing situations due to their occasionally inexplicable nakedness. Charles Regis Chaz Perrone, Ph.D., is a young, handsome marine biologist whose expertise in his field is marginal, and whose interest in it is nonexistent. Since his adolescence, he has devoted his life solely to the lazy pursuit of money, sex, golf, and an otherwise undisturbed, pleasurable existence devoid of any intellectual ambitions, or the urge to explore and experience the great outdoors. His main source of personal pride seems to be his sexual stamina. Despite his marriage to Joey, a beautiful and rich woman, he frequently has affairs with other women. Chazs insatiable greed drives him to collude with Samuel Johnson Red Hammernut, a crooked farm tycoon who owns la...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=766897 ... Read more
