Description
Hard-ass Palm Beach County judge Bob Isom Gibbs enjoys sending even petty offenders away to do hard timewhich 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 keeping BIG's horny hands off her: keeping "Maximum Bob" alive. Because Gibbs's many enemies seem to be willing to go to any lengthsbe it death by amphibian or some more tried-and-true methodto permanently end the career of an oversexed, racist jurist who's more interested in scoring than saving his own red neck.
