- Contexto
- Hence, as fortune (or lack thereof) would have it, JoLayne is not the only holder of a winning ticket. In fact, the other ticket is held jointly by Bodean Gazzer (a k a Bode), a small-time poacher, embezzler and general sleazeball, and his good friend and partner, Chub, who makes his meager living counterfeiting handicapped stickers. From their descriptions alone, Hiaasen leaves little doubt what we have in store: ''Bode Gazzer was 5 feet 6 and had never forgiven his parents for it. He . . . walked with a swagger that suggested not brawn so much as hemorrhoidal tribulation. Chub was a beer-gutted six two, moist-eyed, ponytailed and unshaven. He carried a loaded gun at all times and was Bode Gazzer's best and only friend"
