Stormy Weather book by Carl Hiaasen

Crucifixions were rare, even in Miami . . . Madison Avenue adman Max Lamb is a disappointed man. A prime time hurricane devastates southern Florida at the start of his honeymoon . . . and he canâe(tm)t even use his camcorder. Fortunate really, as the results would not make family viewing back home in New York. Within hours the ruins are alive with mobsters, crusaders, temptresses, presidential aides and escaped wild animals. Even a crucifixion, previously unheard of in these parts, canâe(tm)t halt the mayhem. For the inhabitants of Dade County, the hurricane is the second goldrush âe" the yearâe(tm)s hottest scam. Everyone wants a piece. And Max, he just wants to go home . . . Stormy Weather is the great Carl Hiaasen back on his native patch. A savage satire on life, death and the American Dream. And the funniest Florida fable ever. âe~The nationâe(tm)s premiere satirist . . . perhaps the funniest important writer in Americaâe(tm) Miami Herald âe~The funniest English of this centuryâe(tm) Washington Post âe~A bracing, bawdy, howlingly funny novelâe(tm) Cosmopolitan âe~Reading him is violently pleasurable âe" a bit like being on a terrifyingly good rollercoasterâe(tm) Daily Mail Published By Pan on 1996
