Alligator Man

THE STORY: For years the alligators of the Grand Cheniere swamp have stood idly by while gator men have invaded their territory in search of hides, fortune and fame. But when Telesphonte Broussard, proudest member of the parish's notorious gator-poaching family, kills the girlfriend of Gruesome Gator the years of apathy end. Unaware that vengeance stalks his footsteps, Les goes about his business while his scaly adversary, armed only with his wits and poetic license secures a weapon and a confederate-Les' own prudish sister-in-law, Georgiana. Her staged kidnapping lures Les to the swamp and a fatal fight amidst a raging hurricane. In the end justice triumphs, and the alligator launches his career as a Broussard-dedicated to supplying the Cajun community with all the albino gator hides it can use.Kaplan, Jack A. is the author of 'Alligator Man' with ISBN 9780822200208 and ISBN 0822200201.
