The ultimate beach read for anyone with a taste for Hiaasen's skewed view of a Florida slouching toward Armageddon (Jane Murphy, Booklist)

[A] breezy, enjoyable sequel to 2013's Bad Monkey (Publishers Weekly)

Fans will know what to expect: Day-Glo noir delivered with pungent dialogue and supple prose, Florida's lurid headlines mined for gleeful fun, and memorable characters demonstrating the full spectrum of vice and dysfunction. (Your Weekend)

Poetic justice and social satire are hallmarks of Carl Hiaasen's work and Razor Girl deals out both in fine fashion. (New Zealand Listener)

One of the Guardian Readers' Books of the Year

Key West is a small place, but there are criminal secrets buried everywhere . . .

When jumped-up reality TV star Buck Nance aggravates the crowd in a Key West bar, he incites a riot and vanishes in the melee. His hapless agent Lane Coolman should have been by Buck's side, but has been accidentally taken hostage by two petty criminals who now think they can turn a quick profit by ransoming an LA talent agent.

As the search for Buck continues, the mystery draws in a broad cast of characters from across the island including Andrew Yancy, the disgraced cop who now works restaurants on roach patrol; a delusional fan of Buck's show; the local sheriff who's desperate for re-election; a shady lawyer and his gold-digging fiancée; the gay mayor and his restauranteur partner; a Mafioso hotelier; and a redheaded con artist named Merry who, using a razor blade and a high-speed car, has developed a signature way of luring in her victims.

Outrageously funny, fast-paced and uniquely addictive, Razor Girl will keep you utterly gripped until the final page.
