NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the bestselling author of Squeeze Me comes a wildly entertaining Florida caper--a razor-sharp send-up of modern American life, packed with misfits and mayhem.

"No satirist arrived at our dystopian moment better prepared than Carl Hiaasen." --Slate

"[Carl Hiaasen's] reality with a side of escapism is a blessing for our fragile minds at this time." --Samantha Irby in The Atlantic

Welcome to Fever Beach, where the sun blazes, the politics are unhinged, and the characters are as volatile as a summer storm.

Dale Figgo is a half-baked crusader with the rare distinction of being kicked out of the Proud Boys--for being too dumb. His latest bad decision? Picking up a hitchhiker on a rainy afternoon while running an errand.

That errand sets off a chain reaction involving Viva Morales, a clever, resilient newcomer trying to rebuild her life post-divorce. She's renting a room in Figgo's apartment and working at the Mink Foundation--a philanthropic front with something far darker beneath the surface.

Circling them is Twilly Spree, a hotheaded environmentalist with too much cash and a gift for over-the-top revenge.

When dark money and twisted motives bring their worlds crashing together, Viva and Twilly become unlikely allies. Together, they uncover a tangle of corruption and conspiracy led by a plastic-surgery-loving billionaire couple and a clueless congressman with delusions of grandeur.

In his most outrageous and deliciously funny novel yet, Hiaasen delivers a gleefully chaotic portrait of contemporary madness.

Fine, if you're on the left.

If you are on the left, feel free to read this diatribe and exaggeration about right-wing extremists. It's well written but relentless in heavy-handed parody and snarky barbs not only toward the so-called "far right" but about all things Republican. Perhaps the author found that writing this was therapeutic. I hope he feels better and can now cope with watching the great things our president is doing.

I enjoy Carl Visas ends books about a place I never plan on going

This book was one of his longest, but I felt confused at times since political corruption is not my thing. I did get quick out of the Strikerz of Liberty and the underhanded dealings of Cute Boynette.

Loved “Fever Beach”

Carl Hiaasen does not disappoint in his new book, FEVER BEACH. His characters are new and just as quirky as the ones in his previous novels. The story has twists and turns and laughs and gasps. A great fun read.

Hiaasen does it gain

Another laugh out loud, timely romp from the master, Carl Hiaasen, that you won’t put down until “the end.” I’ll be ready to reread it again in a matter of days

Florida through and through

Imagine living in a state where your senator is a scammer, your governor does shady deals to avoid Sunshine laws, the county sheriff may be a Proud Boy and your suburban neighbor may have an arsenal in his garage; you the basic outline for a Hiaasen book. This one doesn't disappoint! Even if your not a resident of the Free State of Florida, this book will make you chuckle, shake your head and wonder when the next one comes out.
