"¡LIBRO DE HONOR DE NEWBERY!Roy Eberhardt ha llegado recientemente, y a pesar suyo, a Florida. "Disney World es cualquier cosa", afirma rotundamente, "comparado con Montana".Su familia se muda constantemente, de modo que Roy ya esta acostumbrado a ser el chico nuevo donde quiera que va. Los bullies de Florida no son muy distintos a los bullies de otras partes. Pero, contra todo pronostico, Roy termina estando en deuda con el corpulento Dana Matherson. Si Dana no hubiera estado hundiendo sus pulgares en las sienes de Roy, y aplastando su cara contra la ventana del autobus escolar, Roy nunca habria visto a aquel chico corriendo por la calle. Y esa fue la primera cosa interesante que Roy vio en Florida.El chico tenia mas o menos la edad de Roy, pero no corria hacia el autobus escolar. No cargaba libros ni mochila y aqui es cuando la cosa se pone rara tampoco llevaba zapatos. Intrigado, Roy sigue el rastro del chico. Durante la persecucion, conoce a otras de las extrañas criaturas de Florida: caimanes entrenados para ir al baño, el capataz de una construccion bajo asedio, buhos excavadores, un ecologista rebelde, algunos peces resbaladizos, el siniestro gerente de relaciones publicas de una casa de panqueques, y a varias serpientes venenosas con colas extrañamente brillantes.Florida empieza a mejorar...

Chaz Perrone might be the only marine scientist in the world who doesn't know which way the Gulf Stream runs. But he's just found a way to make a fortune out of the Florida Everglades, and he's damned if anyone's going to stop him. So when he suspects that his wife, Joey, is going to get in his way, he takes her on an expensive anniversary cruise and pushes her overboard into the night-dark Atlantic. Unfortunately for Chaz, Joey survives the fall. Clinging to a bale of Jamaican pot, she manages to stay alive, and is plucked from the ocean by former cop, current loner, Mick Stranahan. But instead of rushing to the police and reporting her husband's crime, Joey decides to stay dead and (with Mick's help) screw with Chas until he screws himself. As Joey haunts and taunts her homicidal husband; as Chaz's cold blooded cohorts in crime grow uneasy with his increasingly erratic behaviour; as Mick Stranahan discovers that six failed marriages have not killed his ability to fall in love all over again, Carl Hiaasen takes us on a hilarious, romantic, page-turning journey through the warped politics of southern Florida, and through the madness and mayhem created by the human heart.

Jack Tagger is a frustrated journalist. His outspoken views have relegated him to the obituary page, with his byline never again to disgrace the front page. But Jack has stumbled across a whale of a story that might just resurrect his career ...James Stomarti, infamous frontman of rock band Jimmy and the Slut Puppies, has died in a diving accident and Jack harbours suspicions that the glamorous pop starlet widow may have had a vested interest in her husband's untimely death. It all smells a little too fishy. Aided and abetted by his rather sexy (if unnervingly ambitious) young editor, Emma, Jack sets out to in pursuit of the truth - and a nice juicy story. But of course nothing is ever straightforward and with murderous goons on his tail, brutal internal politics at the paper and a paranoia about death, Jack is struggling to keep his head above water. Was Jimmy Stomarti murdered? Is someone trying to kill off the Slut Puppies one by one? And what significance can a dead lizard named Colonel Tom possibly have? This is one book you'll kill to get your hands on
