Hiaasen offers his commentary—indignant, disbelieving, sometimes righteously angry, and frequently hilarious—on issues like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Bernie Madoff''s trial, and the shenanigans of the recent presidential elections. Whether or not you have read Carl Hiaasen before, you are in for a wild ride.

''One of the world''s funniest novelists'' SUNDAY TIMES ''Scabrous and unrelentingly hilarious . . . the Trump era is truly Carl Hiaasen''s moment'' WASHINGTON POST From the highly acclaimed author of Bad Monkey and Razor Girl comes this 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 good cause, there''s a reason for the local luminaries to eat (minimally), drink (maximally), and be seen. But when prominent high-society dowager Kiki Pew suddenly vanishes during a swanky gala, and is later found dead, panic and chaos erupt. Kiki 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 - who immediately declares that Kiki was the victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth. The truth might just lie in the middle of the highway, where a bizarre discovery brings the First Lady''s motorcade to a grinding halt. Enter Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, who is summoned to the posh island to deal with a mysterious and impolite influx of huge, hungry pythons . . . Carl Hiaasen can brighten even the darkest of days and Squeeze Me is pure, unadulterated Hiaasen. Irreverent, ingenious, and highly entertaining, it perfectly captures the absurdity of our times. ''A comic genius'' EVENING STANDARD ''He has sky-high standards for elegance, crziness and mic-drop humor'' NEW YORK TIMES ''He always adds something extra to the mix . . . jauntiness, wit and larger-than-life characters'' SUNDAY EXPRESS

Men Jack har snublet over en kjempestory som kanskje kan få fart på karrieren igjen.

Avis de cyclone, entre Key Largo et Miami Beach. Sous l''ouragan la Floride ressemble à frappadingueland : caravanes planant comme des canards d''aluminium, bus empalé sur un pin, zoo en délire. Tous les barjos, friands de catastrophes en direct, sont à la fête. Skink, ancien gouverneur devenu ermite de légende, encordé au pont de Biscayne Bay pour prendre le typhon de face. Max Lamb, caméscope au poing, qui visionne les décombres avec l''énergie d''un prédateur. Edie Marsh, superbe arnaqueuse, avec à ses basques " Niaqueur ", escroc à la mâchoire de traviole et au casier judiciaire chargé. Enfin Bonnie, qui cherche désespérément jeune époux envolé en pleine lune de miel. Twister façon thriller, hilarant et décapant à souhait. Avec une verve un rien pulp, Carl Hiaasen nous livre un nouvel épisode de sa chronique américaine, entre Miami Vice et Cape Fear.

Roy, who is new to his small Florida community, becomes involved in another boy''s attempt to save a colony of burrowing owls from a proposed construction site. Unfortunately, Roy''s first acquaintance in Florida is Dana Matherson, a well-known bully. Then again, if Dana hadn''t been sinking his thumbs into Roy''s temples and mashing his face against the school-bus window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the running boy is intriguing: he was running away from the school bus, carried no books, and-here''s the odd part-wore no shoes. Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boy''s trail. The chase introduces him to potty-trained alligators, a fake-fart champion, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails. Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen''s Florida.
