"Tourist Season" by Carl Hiaasen
Product Description(Amazon.com)
The only trace of the first victim was his Shriner's fez washed up on the Miami beach. The second victim, the head of the city's chamber of commerce, was found dead with a toy rubber alligator lodged in his throat. And that was just the beginning... Now Brian Keyes, reporter turned private eye, must move from muckraking to rooting out murder, in a caper that will mix football players, politicians, and police with a group of fanatics and a very hungry crocodile.

MY THOUGHTS: This is the first time I've ever read this author. I really enjoyed his way of writing. Lots of details and information without getting bogged down with them. This book is about a guy Skip Wily, who thinks all the tourists in Florida should leave and let the state go back to wilderness. He's a reporter for a newspaper, likeable and poplar, so when he goes off the deep end and starts his own revolutionary group to get the tourists to move, it kind of surprises a few people. As tourists start coming up missing and then murdered something is terribly wrong. Brian Keyes is a reporter turned private detective. Brian and Cab Macualy are the only people who know Skip is the fanatic that is killing the tourists. Skip's big idea is to abduct an innocent pure girl and Brian and Cab have figured out who that is. They race against time to stop Skip and his group. I can't really get into all this without giving it away. Really good book, you should pick it up for sure.
MY RATING: 8-12

I liked this one a lot too. Carl Hiaasen is a funny guy and the other books of his I've read have all been good, although this may be my favorite so far.
