Carl Hiaasen

Joey je něco přes třicet a po dvou letech manželství ji manžel Chaz hodí přes palubu zaoceánské lodi, aby se zbavil manželky, která mu nedovolí rozhazovat její bohatství, a navíc zřejmě ví o jeho podvodech. Zapomene na jednu drobnost – Joey na studiích závodně plavala. Díky tomu a několika zázrakům se jí podaří přežít – zachrání ji bývalý detektiv Mike Stranahan. Joey si uvědomuje, že nemá možnost manžela usvědčit z pokusu o vraždu, bylo by to jen tvrzení proti tvrzení, proto se rozhodne pro jinou pomstu.

Hrdiny příběhu – polovičního floridského indiána Sammyho, Honey Santanovou se synem Fryem a bývalým manželem a poněkud neschopného zaměstnance telemarketingové firmy Boyda Shreava svede dohromady nečekaná náhoda: Boyd při telefonickém prodeji urazí Honey a ta se vzápětí vydá na krkolomnou pouť po nádherné Floridě, aby ho vypátrala a patřičně se mu pomstila. Hiaasen je věrný své pověsti skvělého vypravěče, příběh graduje přímo mistrně, a tak čtenář zůstává napjatý až do poslední stránky.

It's the height of the Palm Beach charity ball season: for every good cause, there's a reason for the local luminaries to eat (minimally), drink (maximally), and be seen. But when prominent high-society dowager Kiki Pew suddenly vanishes during a swanky gala, and is later found dead, panic and chaos erupt. Kiki was an ardent fan of the Winter White House resident just down the road, and a founding member of the POTUSSIES, a group of women dedicated to supporting their President - who immediately declares that Kiki was the victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth. The truth might just lie in the middle of the highway, where a bizarre discovery brings the First Lady's motorcade to a grinding halt. Enter Angie Armstrong, wildlife wrangler extraordinaire, who is summoned to the posh island to deal with a mysterious and impolite influx of huge, hungry pythons... Carl Hiaasen can brighten even the darkest of days and Squeeze Me is pure, unadulterated Hiaasen. Irreverent, ingenious, and highly entertaining, it perfectly captures the absurdity of our times.
