Stormy Weather

by Carl Hiaasen

Stormy Weather Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A hilarious new novel of greed and corruption from the bestselling author of Strip Tease. The story focuses on southern Florida at the height of the tourist season, when a ferocious hurricane hits--luring con artists, carpetbaggers, and would-be saviours like hyenas to the lion's kill. "Hiaasen (hilself is a one-man force of nature".--Variety. Major advertising, including key city radio and print ads in The New York Times Book Review and Miami Herald.

Synopsis:

Welcome to Carl Hiaasen's hurricane zone, where hell and hilarity rule, as a seductive con artiste stumbles into a scam that promises more cool cash than the lottery, and a shotgun-toting mobile home salesman closes a deal with disaster. There are more than 624,000 paperback copies of "Stormy Weather" in Warner print.

"A hilarious, black humor thriller". — The Wall Street Journal".
