Tourist Season - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:Carl Hiaasen, George Wilson (Narrator) Pulitzer prize winning journalist Carl Hiaasen's novel is funny and sardonic. This is one of his most popular works. A funny and sardonic story of a bizarre terrorist group determined to halt Miami's tourism. — From Publishers Weekly: When the president of the Miami Chamber of Commerce is found dead inside a suitcase with his legs sawn off and a... more » rubber alligator stuffed down his throat, news and police locals prefer to believe it's simply another typical South Florida crime. But when letters from a terrorist group, Las Noches de Diciembre, link the man's death to the disappearances of a visiting Shriner and a Canadian tourist, former newsman (now private eye) Brian Keyes intuits that someone is out to kill Florida's tourist trade. His investigation leads him to an old journalism crony obsessed with fury against the state's irresponsible development policies. Miami Herald columnist Hiaasen writes with a seriousness of intent and knack for characterization which, unfortunately, outstrip his comic talents. This is an auspicious solo debut for the serious Hiaasen (he has written three thrillers with William Montalbano), but a lukewarm one for him as a potential comic-absurdist.
