Stormy Weather

Carl Hiaasen: Stormy Weather (USA 2018)

From the Publisher:
Two honeymooners wake up early, make love twice, and brace themselves for a spectacle they won't be watching from the sidelines. A seductive con artiste stumbles into a scam that promises more cool cash than the lottery. A shotgun-toting mobile home salesman is about to close a deal with disaster. A law school dropout will be chasing one Gaboon viper, a troop of storm-shocked monkeys, and a newfound love life, while tourists by the thousands bail from the Florida Keys. We're now entering the hurricane zone, where hell and hilarity rule. And in the hands of the masterful, merciless Carl Hiaasen, we're going to have some weather.

Stormy Weather

Carl Hiaasen: Stormy Weather (USA 2010)

From the Publisher:
When a ferocious hurricane rips through southern Florida, the con artists and carpetbaggers waste no time in swarming over the disaster area.

Among the predators are Edie Marsh, an entrepreneurial young woman whose scheme to sleep with a Palm Beach Kennedy has fizzled, freezing her to concoct a colossal insurance rip-off; Lester Maddox Parsons, a murderous ex-con whose violent encounter with a game warden has left him with the fitting name of "Snapper"; and Avila, a crooked building inspector-turned-roofer who dabbles somewhat unsuccessfully in the occult.

Caught in the middle are Max and Bonnie Lamb, newlyweds torn in wildly different directions by the storm. It is Max's fateful decision to abort their Disney World honeymoon and race to Dade County to see the terrible devastation. Armed with a video camera, the ambitious young advertising executive can't wait to show his hurricane tapes to his buddies back in New York.

Over Bonnie's objections, Max eagerly sets out through the rubble, debris and mayhem-and promptly vanishes. The only clue to his whereabouts: a runaway monkey. The only person who can help Bonnie's search: a mysterious young man with a tranquilizer gun and a roomful of human skulls.

But there's also a man called Skink who has devoted his very strange existence to saving Florida from the kinds of people blown in by the hurricane. It is he, crazed and determined, who prowls the swath of the storm and forever changes the lives of Max, Bonnie, Edie and the others.

Their paths-tangled before they even know it-come together in a novel that continues the hilarious and scathing muckraking tradition that Carl Hiaasen has so mercilessly made his own. In Stormy Weather, there is no calm eye.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Carl Hiaasen's Bad Monkey.

Stormy Weather

Carl Hiaasen: Stormy Weather (UK 1997)

From the Publisher:
Carl Hiaasen is be able to back on is native patch. In Southern Florida ... heading straight for a tempestuous and brilliantly funny collision course with nature. As in hurricanes. As in those other natural elements that make all Americans (or is it just Florideans?) lie, cheat, murder, kill and steal.

Fully nine-tenths of the population emerge unscathed from the hurricane that wrecks Dade County on August 24th. But who the hell cares about them? For everyone else the aftermath of the direct hit - homelessness, looting, devastation, in shore an all-round window of opportunity - is the second gold-rush. The year's hottest scam...
