Fever beach
(Large Print)
Description
"On the afternoon of September 20th, dishwater-gray and rainy, a man named Dale Figgo picked up a hitchhiker on Gus Grissom Boulevard in Tangelo Shores, Florida. The hitchhiker, who reminded Figgo of Danny DeVito, asked for a lift to the interstate. Figgo agreed to take him there after finishing an errand. Thus begins Fever Beach, with a not-so-innocent errand that leads into a sun-scorched world of right-wing extremism, greed and graft, in which Figgo, a frustrated white supremacist, finds his dark dream threatened by two unlikely adversaries, Viva Morales and Twilly Spree. Viva is a newly transplanted Floridian, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now renting a room in Figgo's apartment because there's nowhere else she can afford. Twilly has uncounted millions of inherited dollars and daily anger-management challenges--especially when it comes to anyone who trashes the environment. In Fever Beach, Viva and Twilly find themselves pulled into a universe populated by some of Carl Hiaasen's most outrageous characters--Claude and Electra Mink, aging zealots with too much money, too many grudges, and not enough bodyguards; Clure Boyette, a Florida congressman whose famed indiscretions include cocaine, hookers, and canine-themed cosplay; and Jonas Onus, a cash-strapped thug and conspiracy nut who names beloved pets after World War II Nazis. As always, Hiaasen ties them (and many others) together, delivering all to their appropriate fates in his wildest and most entertaining novel to date"--
