Badger Lake Aaron Shaffer 1º edição

Murder and corruption. A small-town news team. Tropical birds. Sharp-clawed badgers. A tornado. What could possibly go wrong? Badger Lake is a fun and fun-ny mystery/adventure novel, combining the never-ending surprises of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey?s humorous writing with the easy-reading and fast-paced style of Spencer Quinn?s Dog On It series. After two strange murders in two days, small-town Badger Lake needs some heroes. A twisted, but strangely comical, storyline pits small-town television news against East Coast mob. Who are the heroes trying to find a pair of bumbling murderers? A motley crew, consisting of tropical bird-toting television reporter Walt Johnson, an intern who wants to be known as "Captain," and their TV station's peculiar management team ? a cross-dressing general manager and a news director with a roughly ten-second attention span. While attempting to solve the murders, the group of news men forms an alliance with a pair of well-educated, scantily-clad college women, and a lazy, but emotional, sheriff. There are painful encounters with wild animals, strange water chases involving boats and animals, a tornado, and many other scenarios that could only take place in one place: Badger Lake, Wisconsin.
