"Compulsively readable with a cleverly conceived resolution. . . . Fans of
spy stories, action, environmental intrigue, and, well, Hiaasen, will cheer for
this one." -- - The Bulletin
Chapter One The deputy told me to empty my pockets: two quarters, a penny, a stick of bubble gum, and a roll of grip tape for my skateboard. It was pitiful. "Go on inside. He's waiting for you," the deputy said. My dad was sitting alone at a bare metal table. He looked pretty good, all things considered. He wasn't even handcuffed. "Happy Father's Day," I said. He stood up and gave me a hug. "Thanks, Noah," he said. In the room there was another deputy—a broad, jowly bear standing next to the door that led to the jail cells. I guess his job was to make sure I wasn't smuggling a hacksaw to my father so that he could break out. "It's good they let you keep your own clothes," I said to Dad. "I figured they'd make you put on one of those dorky uniforms." "I'm sure they will, sooner or later." He shrugged. "You doing okay?" "How come you won't let Mom bail you out?" I asked. "Because it's important for me to be here right now." "Important how? She says you'll lose your job if you stay locked up." "She's probably right," my dad admitted. He'd been driving a taxi for the past year and a half. Before that he was a fishing guide—a good one, too, until the Coast Guard took away his captain's license. He said, "Noah, it's not like I robbed a bank or something." "I know, Dad." "Did you go see what I did?" "Not yet," I said. He gave me a wink. "It's impressive." "Yeah, I bet." He was in a surprisingly good mood. I'd never been to a jail before, though honestly it wasn't much of a jail. Two holding cells, my dad told me. The main county lockup was miles away in Key West. "Mom wants to know if she should call the lawyer," I said. "I suppose." "The same one from last time? She wasn't sure." Copyright © 2005 by Carl Hiaasen
