Product Description
Noah's dad, Paine, is a kind but slightly irresponsible fisherman who is passionate about saving the local Florida aquatic life. When Paine discovers that a local businessman is running a scam from his casino boat, he takes the law into his own hands, sinks the boat and ends up in jail. This scam involves releasing the effluent from the boat's toilets directly into the water, to avoid the cost of disposing of it safely. Noah and his sister Abbey, take up the fight for justice on their Dad's behalf and enlist the help of Shelly, who knows that her former boyfriend is up to no good and comes up with a plan to prove it. She gets a job as a barmaid back on the casino boat and plans to sneak a huge load of coloured dye into the toilets. This title is a fantastically funny thriller.
From the Inside Flap
Noah's dad has a little problem with his temper. He tried to stop the Coral Queen's illegal sewage dumping... by sinking the boat.
But his bold protest doesn't work: within days the boat is back in business, and Noah's dad is behind bars out of action.
Now Noah is determined to succeed where his father failed. But even though pumping raw sewage into the waters of the Florida Keys is both gross and against the law, it turns out it's near impossible to catch the flusher - especially when he's already bamboozled the coast guard and everyone else who's after him.
But Noah's got a few allies of his own. There's his little sister, Abbey, an un-reformed childhood biter; Lice Peeking, a half-pickled ex-mate of the Coral Queen who is willing to testify... for a price; and Shelly, a bighearted barmaid with even bigger biceps.
OK, so the odds aren't good. But Noah has an ace up his sleeve - a plan so crazy it just might stop the polluting, save the beaches, and prove to the world that it's the owner of the Coral Queen, and not his dad, who is full of ****.
