Sick Puppy / Skin Tight

Palmer Stoat, a Florida political operator, notices a black pickup following his Range Rover on the highway and assumes he is about to be carjacked. The driver, Twilly Spree, has a different reason for tailing him. Wealthy, hot-tempered and devoted to protecting the state's wild places, Twilly stages dramatic protests against developers and polluters. When Stoat carelessly tosses fast-food trash out of his window, Twilly decides to make an example of him, and the vehicle soon becomes home to a swarm of hungry insects. Twilly then learns that Stoat is working to build resorts on a pristine Gulf island, and the stakes climb. Along the way, the story brings together eco-activists, phony hunters, a former governor living off the land and an unusually clever Labrador.
