<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Take a trip to exotic South Florida with this dark, funny book that established Carl Hiaasen as one of the top mystery writers in the game. <p/></b>The first sign of trouble is a Shriner's fez washed up on a Miami beach. The next is a suitcase containing the almost-legless body of the local chamber of commerce president found floating in a canal... <p/>The locals are desperate to keep the murders under wraps and the tourist money flowing. But it will take a reporter-turned-private eye to make sense of a caper that mixes football players, politicians, and one very hungry crocodile in this classic mystery that <i>GQ</i> called "one of the top ten destination reads of all time."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Tourist Season</i></b> <p/>Brash mystery adventure...ferocious fun....There's a fresh breeze, if not a full-scale hurricane, up from Miami. Hiaasen, himself a columnist for the <i>Miami Herald</i>, writes with sardonic wit in a style so breezy that you want to hang on to the mast with both hands."--Marilyn Stasio, <i>The Columbus Dispatch</i> <p/>A terrific send-up of Floridiana...zany...satire as withering as a Dade County frost at the peak of citrus harvest...one novelist who never seems to forget for a minute that a chief purpose of any work of fiction is to entertain."--<i>The Cleveland Plain Dealer</i> <p/>"A remarkable example of what talented writers are doing these days with the mystery novel."--Tony Hillerman, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"Makes <i>Miami Vice</i> look like <i>Terry and the Pirates</i>....I can't remember another novel that combines violence and comedy as successfully."--John D. MacDonald, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the Travis McGee series <p/>"Fiendish suspense and wicked black humor...does for Florida what <i>Candy</i> did for sex, and what <i>Semi-Tough</i> did for football. A rollicking, exciting, exceptional book."--John Katzenbach, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Hart's War</i> <p/>"Ferocious and ferociously funny. You race through its pages at a gallop."--John Godey, <i> New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Taking of Pelham One Two Three</i> <p/>"A most engaging novel....Hiaasen has perfectly blended black humor with stark terror."--Associated Press <p/>"A wonderful achievement, continuously inventive and surprising, very funny but deadly serious beneath the laughs. Hiassen's voice is his own...a hell of a job."--Pete Hamill, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Forever</i> <p/>"Wondrously told! <i>Tourist Season</i> is what we read novels for--high entertainment and high excitement."--Richard Condon, author of <i>Prizzi's Honor</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Carl Hiaasen</b> is a syndicated columnist for <i>The Miami Herald</i> and the author of many bestselling novels, including <i>Razor Girl</i>, <i>Bad Monkey</i>, <i>Sick Puppy</i>, <i>Lucky You</i>, <i>Strip Tease</i>, and <i>Tourist Season</i>.
