From the author of Bad Monkey and Squeeze Me comes another instant classic, a laugh-out-loud funny crime novel tackling the chaotic and polarized world of American 'culture'.
Fever Beach leads us, in pure Hiaasen-style, into the depths of Florida at its most Floridian: a sun-soaked bastion of right-wing extremism, white power, greed, and corruption.
Dale Figgo is the only hate-monger ever to be kicked out of the Proud Boys for being too dumb and incompetent. Now his already messy life is about to get more complicated, thanks to two formidable adversaries.
The first is Viva Morales, a clever woman recently taken to the cleaners by her ex-husband, now working at the supposedly philanthropic Mink Foundation and renting a room in Figgo's apartment; the second, Twilly Spree, a millionaire with an anger management problem, especially when it comes to those who deface the environment.
Together, Viva and Twilly are plunged into a mystery involving dark money and darker motives, one they are determined to solve. Into this web come a cavalcade of outrageous characters, from corrupt politicians to white power idiots, all of whose fates are bound together via Figgo in a novel that is both a vicious state-of-the-nation satire and a hilarious thriller.
From America's most acclaimed satirist and the author of the book that became the Apple+ hit Bad Monkey, Fever Beach is an unmissable skewering of American politics in all its ridiculousness.
'One of the world's funniest novelists'
SUNDAY TIMES

WASHINGTON POST
'A comic genius'
EVENING STANDARD
'He has sky-high standards for elegance, crziness and mic-drop humor'
NEW YORK TIMES
'He always adds something extra to the mix . . . jauntiness, wit and larger-than-life characters'
