The boat is pumped out and back in business within days and Noah's dad is in the local lock-up. Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. He will prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally . . . somehow.“The writing is pitch perfect.” —The New York Times   “A royal flush.” —Chicago Sun-Times   “Classic Hiaasen—laugh-out-loud satire in a Florida setting.” —Life

Noah's family loves the environment around their home in the Florida Keys. Noah's dad, Paine Underwood, a fishing guide, especially has always been passionate - but have you ever heard of somebody sinking a casino boat in the name of Mother Nature? Even Noah's younger sister, Abbey, and their mother think that Paine has finally lost his marbles. Now dad is in the slammer. When Noah goes to visit his dad, Paine claims that the captain of the Coral Queen, Jasper "Dusty" Muleman, was dumping sewage from the boat's holding tanks into the ocean.
