Wrecker

Wrecker follows Valdez Jones VIII — who goes by Wrecker because his ancestor salvaged shipwrecks — as he stumbles onto a stranded speedboat while fishing in the waters off Key West and finds himself entangled with a trio of dangerous men who want much more than his silence. As the mystery deepens, Wrecker must dig into Key West's colorful history of smugglers and grave-robbers to figure out who these men really are — and how to escape their web before it closes around him. Carl Hiaasen's latest Florida adventure, praised by Booklist with a starred review, is an excellent choice for students because it weaves ecological conservation, local history, and genuine suspense into a brilliantly funny and fast-paced thriller.
