The Skink series follows one of the most memorable characters in American crime fiction: a former Florida governor named Clinton Tyree who goes by Skink and lives in the state’s wild places, eating roadkill and waging war against those who destroy the environment. He first appears in Double Whammy (1987) and recurs across ten books, including Native Tongue, Sick Puppy, Skinny Dip, and the young adult novel Skink–No Surrender.
Skink is not always the main character of the books he appears in, but he is always a force of nature. Hiaasen uses him as a voice for environmental rage and a counterweight to the developers, con artists, and politicians who populate his Florida-set crime fiction.
