What Amazon Says:
Andrew Yancy - late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff's office - has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig. But first - Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-bloded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen whose suitors are blinded until death by her peculiar charms; Yancy's new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, with hilarious aplomb.
