And now it has JoLayne Lucks, unlikely winner of the state lottery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnfortunately, JoLayne's winning ticket isn't the only one. The other belongs to Bodean Gazzer and his raunchy sidekick, Chub, who believe they're entitled to the whole $28 million jackpot. And they need it quickly, to start their own underground militia before NATO troops invade America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut JoLayne Lucks has her own plans for the Lotto money--an Eden-like forest in Grange must be saved from strip-malling. When Bode and Chub brutally assault her and steal her ticket, JoLayne vows to track them down, take it back--and get revenge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe only one who can help is Tom Krome, a big-city investigative journalist now bitterly consigned to writing frothy features for a midsized central Florida newspaper. With a persuasive nudge from JoLayne, Krome is about to become part of a story that's bigger and more bizarre than anything he's ever covered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChasing two heavily armed psychopaths down the coast of Florida is reckless enough, but Tom's got other problems--the murderous attention of a jealous judge; an actress wife who turns fugitive to avoid divorce court; an editor who speaks in tongues; and Tom's own growing fondness for the future millionairess with whom he's risking his neck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pursuit takes them from the surreal streets of Grange to a buzzard-infested island deep in Florida Bay, where they finally catch up with the fledgling militia--Chub, Bode Gazzer, a newly recruited convenience-store clerk and their baffled hostage, a Hooters waitress.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe climax explodes with the hilarious mayhem that is Carl Hiaasen's hallmark. Lucky You is his funniest, most deliriously gripping novel yet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSED BOOK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e353 pages, Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published November 1, 1997\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brewberry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43264001474654,"sku":"9780679454441","price":14.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/0585\/9678\/files\/1081823.jpg?v=1788487716","url":"https:\/\/www.brewberrybooks.ca\/products\/lucky-you-carl-hiaasen","provider":"Brewberry Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
