Carl Hiaasen
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.

Critic reviews
"Hiaasen is working in a grand tradition that stretches back to Mikhail Bulgakov satirizing Stalinism and Charlie Chaplin mocking Hitler. At his best, he can pack a paragraph with so many little parodic bangs that it feels like a fireworks display when the explosions come so fast you stop saying “Ahhh” and just stand in slack-jawed bedazzlement…. While white-shoe lawyers, university presidents and media moguls cower before the MAGA assaults on American democracy and decency, this mischievous 72-year-old writer is fighting back with every political gag and sex joke he can get his hands on.”—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"Carl Hiaasen’s Fever Beach turns, like many of his novels, on the actions of a collection of enthusiastic, comically unfocused malcontents....Mr. Hiaasen’s eye for the absurd, like his ear for dialogue, is as sharp as ever."—Anna Mundow, Wall Street Journal
"Fever Beach. . . features a witty, wounded hero with a heart of gold, boyish charm and profound anger at all despoilers of natural Florida. The author is each of those things, with a double dose of charm—but in real life he leaves the maiming, killing and vigilante butt-kicking to his alter egos, always in pursuit of righteous causes."—David Von Drehle, The Washington Post
"Heavily plotted but peppily paced, bursting with quips and blazing with anger...”—Justin Taylor, The New York Times Book Review
