Maximum Bob

Description for MAXIMUM BOB by Elmore Leonard:

Hard-ass Palm Beach County judge Rob Isom Gibbs enjoys sending even petty offenders away to do hard time---which has made the list of miscreants who want him dead longer than a fully grown Florida gator's tail. And a good number of his ill-wishers are probation officer Kathy Baker's clients, including young Dale Crowe and his psycho uncle Elvin. Suddenly Kathy's got an even more daunting task than keep BIG's horny hands off her: keeping "Maximum Bob" alive. Because Gibb's many enemies seem to be willing to go to any lengths---be it death by amphibian or some other tired-and-true method---to permanently end the career of an oversexed racist jurist who's more interested in scoring than saving his own red neck.
