Description
When a devastating hurricane tears through southern Florida during peak tourist season, it unleashes far more than just wind and rain—it attracts a colorful cast of con artists, opportunistic carpetbaggers, and self-proclaimed saviors all eager to exploit the chaos for personal gain. Carl Hiaasen's darkly comic novel captures the absurdity and corruption that flourish in disaster's wake, as various schemes and scams collide in the storm's aftermath. With his signature blend of sharp wit, satirical social commentary, and unforgettable characters, Hiaasen exposes the greed and moral bankruptcy lurking beneath the surface of Florida's glittering facade. This is a masterclass in comedic storytelling that transforms a natural disaster into a vehicle for examining human nature at its most ridiculous and corrupt.
