Description
When a series of bizarre murders plague Miami—beginning with a Shriner's fez washing ashore and escalating to a chamber of commerce executive found dead with a toy rubber alligator lodged in his throat—reporter-turned-private-eye Brian Keyes finds himself thrust into a darkly comedic investigation unlike any he's encountered before. As the body count rises and the murders grow increasingly surreal, Keyes must navigate a chaotic landscape populated by eccentric politicians, ambitious football players, determined police, and a dangerous group of fanatics with a sinister agenda. Hiaasen's signature blend of sharp wit, environmental satire, and crime-thriller plotting creates a wild romp through Florida's underbelly, where nothing is quite what it seems and danger lurks around every corner. With a very hungry crocodile adding to the mayhem, this debut novel establishes Hiaasen as a master of the darkly comic mystery, delivering both genuine thrills and laugh-out-loud moments. A rollicking page-turner that skewers Florida's tourist industry and political corruption while delivering genuine suspense.
