If Carl Hiaasen moved to Baja California and took up fishing....

Wahoo Rhapsody, by Shaun Morey

 ...he might write something like this book. Wahoo Rhapsody is a witty mystery about drug smuggling, fishing, and Mexico. The main character in the book’s quirky ensemble is an eccentric millionaire ex-pat (and ex-lawyer), living off the grid in Baja California named (get this) Atticus Fish. Also along on this trip to Hiaasen territory are a marine biologist deck hand, the manager of a fish cannery, a drug lord named La Cucaracha, and a crooked Arizona prosecutor with a clown fetish. It was quite funny, and an enjoyable, quick read.
