"Fever Beach leads us, in pure Hiaasen-style, into the depths of Florida at its most Floridian: a sun-soaked bastion of right-wing extremism, white power, greed, and corruption. Dale Figgo is the only hate-monger ever to be kicked out of the Proud Boys for being too dumb and incompetent. Now his already messy life is about to get more complicated, thanks to two formidable adversaries. The first is Viva Morales, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now working at the supposedly philanthropic Mink Foundation and renting a room in Figgo's apartment; the second, Twilly Spree, a millionaire with an anger management problem, especially when it comes to those who deface the environment. Together, Viva and Twilly are plunged into a mystery involving dark money and darker motives, one they are determined to solve. Into this web come a cavalcade of outrageous characters, from corrupt politicians to white power idiots, all of whose fates are bound together via Figgo in a tale that is both a vicious state-of-the-nation satire and a hilarious thriller. From America's most acclaimed satirist and the author of the book that became the Apple+ hit Bad Monkey, Fever Beach is an unmissable skewering of American politics in all its ridiculousness."

Wrecker

"#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Wrecker needs to deal with smugglers, grave robbers, and pooping iguanas-just as soon as he finishes Zoom school. Welcome to another wild adventure in Carl Hiaasen's Florida! Valdez Jones VIII calls himself Wrecker because his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather salvaged shipwrecks for a living. So is it destiny, irony, or just bad luck when Wrecker comes across a speedboat that has run hard aground on a sand flat? The men in the boat don't want Wrecker to call for help-in fact, they'll pay him to forget he ever saw them. Wrecker would be happy to forget, but he keeps seeing these men all over Key West-at the marina, in the cemetery, even right outside his own door. And now they want more than his silence-they want a lookout. He'll have to dive deep into their shady dealings to figure out a way to escape this tangled net. . . ."

[Spanish] - Hoot: La odisea de los búhos

"LIBRO DE HONOR DEL PREMIO NEWBERY Roy Eberhardt ha llegado recientemente, y a pesar suyo, a Florida. 'Disney World es cualquier cosa', afirma rotundamente, 'comparado con Montana'. Su familia se muda constantemente, de modo que Roy ya está acostumbrado a ser el chico nuevo donde quiera que va. Los bullies de Florida no son muy distintos a los bullies de otras partes. Pero, contra todo pronóstico, Roy termina estando en deuda con el corpulento Dana Matherson. Si Dana no hubiera estado hundiendo sus pulgares en las sienes de Roy, y aplastando su cara contra la ventana del autobús escolar, Roy nunca habría visto a aquel chico corriendo por la calle. Y esa fue la primera cosa interesante que Roy vio en Florida. El chico tenía más o menos la edad de Roy, pero no corría hacia el autobús escolar. No cargaba libros ni mochila y —aquí es cuando la cosa se pone rara— tampoco llevaba zapatos. Intrigado, Roy sigue el rastro del chico. Durante la persecución, conoce a otras de las extrañas criaturas de Florida: caimanes entrenados para ir al baño, el capataz de una construcción bajo asedio, búhos excavadores, un ecologista rebelde, algunos peces resbaladizos, el siniestro gerente de relaciones públicas de una casa de panqueques, y a varias serpientes venenosas con colas extrañamente brillantes. Florida empieza a mejorar..."

Squeeze Me: A Novel: A Novel

"WINNER OF THE CRIMEFEST LAST LAUGH AWARD FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF SKINNY DIP AND RAZOR GIRL, A HILARIOUS NEW NOVEL OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL INTRIGUE, SET AGAINST THE GLITTERING BACKDROP OF FLORIDA’S GOLD COAST It’s the height of the Palm Beach charity ball season: for every disease or cause, there’s a reason for the local luminaries to eat (minimally), drink (maximally), and be seen. But when a prominent high-society dowager suddenly vanishes during a swanky gala, and is later found dead in a concrete grave, panic and chaos erupt. Kiki Pew was notable not just for her wealth and her jewels—she was an ardent fan of the Winter White House resident just down the road and a founding member of the Potussies, a group of women dedicated to supporting their President. Never one to miss an opportunity to play to his base, the President immediately declares that Kiki was the victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth. The truth might lie in the middle of the highway, where a bizarre discovery brings the First Lady’s mo-torcade to a grinding halt (followed by some grinding between the First Lady and a lovestruck Secret Ser¬vice agent). Enter Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, who arrives at her own conclusions after she is summoned to the posh island to deal with a mysterious and impolite influx of huge, hungry pythons . . . Carl Hiaasen brightens even the darkest of days, and Squeeze Me is pure, unadulterated Hiaasen. Ir-reverent, ingenious, and highly entertaining, Squeeze Me perfectly captures the absurdity of our times. “The undisputed master of organized chaos . . . Hiaasen’s satire is a fierce unmuzzled snarl, swiftly followed by a painfully ironic bite. Quite simply, brilliant.” THE SUNDAY TIMES “Carl Hiaasen [is] a superb national satirist . . . A great American writer about the great American subjects of ambition, greed, vanity, and disappointment.” ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “[Hiaasen is] a master of the comic crime novel.” THE DAILY TELEGRAPH"
