Bad Monkey, by Carl Hiaasen:
A severed arm reeled in from the waters off Key West offers former Deputy Sheriff Andrew Yancy a chance for redemption in comic mystery BAD MONKEY. Currently demoted to county health inspector following his unseemly attack on a prominent citizen, Yancy needs to solve a high-profile mystery, and this one involves murder. His surreptitious investigation lands him in the arms of Rosa Campesino, a Miami medical examiner, and the two follow clues to a remote Bahamian isle where soon they find themselves at the mercy of the killer, an island witch, and—thank goodness—a very bad monkey.
