Flush

Take a romp in the swamp with this New York Times bestselling mystery adventure set in the Florida Keys from Newbery Honoree Carl Hiaasen! Noah's dad is sure that the owner of the Coral Queen casino boat is flushing raw sewage into the harbor—which has made taking a dip at the local beach like swimming in a toilet. He can't prove it though, and so he decides that sinking the boat will make an effective statement. Right. The boat is pumped out and back in business within days and Noah's dad is in the local lock-up. Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. He will prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally . . . somehow. “The writing is pitch perfect.” —The New York Times “A royal flush.” —Chicago Sun-Times “Classic Hiaasen—laugh-out-loud satire in a Florida setting.” —Life From the Hardcover edition.

PR man Joe Winder didn't believe the theft of the last two blue-tongued voles on Earth from a billionaire's Florida theme park. He just wrote the story. Asking questions later was his biggest mistake. Before he could say Robbie Raccoon, he was hiding out in the Everglades with a one-eyed man and gun-toting granny in pink curlers - and ready to put the skids on the craziest crime con in the history of the state...Welcome to the Amazing Kingdom of Thrills! It's classic Carl Hiaasen. And live without him would be a pale imitation. 'Tirelessly inventive screwball thriller in which valiant-for-truth PR man outfaces sexually deviant dolphin, man-eating pet whale and sub-moronic goon addicted to steroids. Aaagh!' Guardian

THE CARL HIAASEN OMNIBUS More than just an awesomely good crime writer, Carl Hiaasen is a comic genius. From his brilliantly black-humoured debut with Tourist Season to the scalpel-sharp satire of Skin Tight, Carl Hiaasen's first three Florida-based thrillers created a whole new category of crime fiction. Collected here for the first time, they represent a white-knuckle ride through parts of the American Nightmare that other writers have never even dreamed of. Or as America's leading satirist P. J. O'Rourke puts it: 'Reading Carl Hiaasen will do more to damage the Florida tourist trade than anything except a visit to Florida.' SKIN TIGHT 'Hiaasen brings classic farce to the modern thriller' Evening Standard DOUBLE WHAMMY 'An outrageously entertaining high-protein experience' Observer TOURIST SEASON 'The funniest writer working in America today' Independent 'Beefier than a barrel-load of Bookers' Time Out 'Better than literature' P. J. O'Rourke

Crucifixions were rare, even in Miami ...Madison Avenue adman Max Lamb is a disappointed man. A prime time hurricane devastates southern Florida at the start of his honeymoon ...and he can't even use his camcorder. Fortunate really, as the results would not make family viewing back home in New York. Within hours the ruins are alive with mobsters, crusaders, temptresses, presidential aides and escaped wild animals. Even a crucifixion, previously unheard of in these parts, can't halt the mayhem. For the inhabitants of Dade County, the hurricane is the second goldrush -- the year's hottest scam. Everyone wants a piece. And Max, he just wants to go home ...Stormy Weather is the great Carl Hiaasen back on his native patch. A savage satire on life, death and the American Dream. And the funniest Florida fable ever. 'The nation's premiere satirist ...perhaps the funniest important writer in America' Miami Herald 'The funniest English of this century' Washington Post 'A bracing, bawdy, howlingly funny novel' Cosmopolitan 'Reading him is violently pleasurable -- a bit like being on a terrifyingly good rollercoaster' Daily Mail
