Synopsis

Take one sea-loving captain, a drug-smuggling first mate, and a novice deckhand with a secret, and you have the motley crew of the Wahoo Rhapsody, a ramshackle fishing charter plying the Pacific’s waters off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. Captain Winston Weber makes an honest, if lean, living running fishing charters between Mexico and California, with no inkling of the fact that his first mate, Weevil Ott, is smuggling marijuana inside the yellowfin tuna stacked in the boat’s hold. But when Weevil decides to skim a small fortune for himself, goons under orders from the mysterious drug lord known only as “La Cucaracha” descend upon the Wahoo Rhapsody. What ensues is a madcap romp that will catapult readers from Cabo San Lucas to Tucson and San Diego, as Winston, Weevil, and an expat American lawyer by the name of Atticus Fish try to outrun La Cucaracha’s bloody reach. Fans of Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard will relish this rollicking satirical adventure from award-winning writer Shaun Morey.

This is more than a fun beach read. However, I do highly recommend taking it with you on vacation this summer. Wahoo Rhapsody is a hilarious and intelligent absurdist adventure that is larger than any fish tale you've heard so far. It's the kind of book that will give you pointers on how to sue God......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on October 04, 2017

Wahoo Raphsody is a whirlwind of adventure and an easy read to boot. The story of a lawyer thay retires to mexico and the fishing boat he co-owns. The life of Atticus Fish is just so outrageous that it makes the story fun to read. I wasnt into much of the environmental stuff as the author seemed to u......more

Goodreads review by Deborah on January 21, 2024

The main character successfully “sued God” through creative legal loopholes, changed his name to Atticus Fish, and hid himself away in Mexico to escape the nut jobs who would kill him for putting their religions on notice. One would think that having a less memorable name would make staying low key......more

Goodreads review by Mike on April 25, 2020

A fun read. The author tries to channel the story telling of Carl Hiaasen with a dash of Jimmy Buffett's fiction , but falls a little short. But don't let that stop you from reading the book. The main character of the series, Atticus Fish,is a saner and wealthier version of Hiaasen's Skink character......more
