Book
Fever beach / Carl Hiaasen.
Fever Beach begins with Dale Figgo, a former Proud Boy known for his incompetence, picking up a hitchhiker. This encounter sets off a chain of events in a politically charged and environmentally threatened Florida. Figgo's life becomes further complicated by Viva Morales, a resourceful newcomer renting a room from him, and Twilly Spree, an environmentally conscious millionaire with anger issues. Viva and Twilly become involved in a mystery concerning wealthy philanthropists Claude and Electra Mink and their potential right-wing agenda, as well as Congressman Clure Boyette, whose political ambitions are hampered by his personal life and lack of intelligence. The narrative follows these characters and others, including Noel Kristianson and Jonus Onus, as their lives intertwine within a landscape of extremism, greed, and corruption.
