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.

Outstanding political satire

Here is another Carl Hiassen gem! He is a master of funny and intelligent politics

If you love “The View” you’ll love this.

A must read/listen. Funny and colorful as ever. Carll has a masterful way of enticing the reader to follow his menagerie of ne’er do wells chapter after chapter and ultimately leaving the audience wanting to murder a health insurance executive . Luigi sure won’t have to worry about lawyers fees as long as ole CH can keep cranking out these hilarious romps!

Great Satire

Loved the humor and characterizations. Hiaasen nails the underlying inanity of discrimination and the hateful white supremacy mythology.

Excellent narrator!

Hiaasen is able to lampoon this malignant segment of our society in a hilarious and revealing way. Unfortunately, our society seems to have splintered into this group of demented right wing bigots & all too passive liberal humanists.

Humor & Florida man

Love his irreverent writing. So true in these crazy political times. Laugh out loud & true justice for this stupid guys!
