Carl Hiaasen's Lucky You
Bode and Chub, two rednecks, win the lottery. FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS!! Well - half the lottery. The other half's won by JoLayne Lucks - and OF COURSE - she's African American... and a veterinarian. Why the HELL should they share the money with her... so they beat her up and steal her ticket. But JoLayne's not going to take that lying down. She gets together with Tom Krome - investigative journalist - hungry for ACTION.
A wild chase ensues as JoLayne and Tom pursue the two heavily-armed psychopaths, their dim-bulb young recruit and a Hooter's waitress... that's Amber, their sexy hostage (oh those long, long legs...), to a climax that explodes with all the wild and hilarious mayhem that is Carl Hiaasen's hallmark.
Lucky You monitors the scale of human credulity. People will believe just about anything. And that can turn the world into a crazy place.
