Klappentext
The Apple TV+ Original series from Ted Lasso Executive Producer Bill Lawrence and starring Vince Vaughn, praised as "a rollicking, darkly hilarious series that’s both compulsively watchable and plain old fun" (The Ringer) is based on the zany and sharp novel from "the funniest important writer in America" (Miami Herald).Andrew Yancy-late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff's office-has a human arm in his freezer. There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident / shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it's not called the roach patrol for nothing).
But first-this being Hiaasen country-Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Oklahoma; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm; two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy's new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey-who just may be one of Carl Hiaasen's greatest characters.
Biografie
Carl Hiaasen, Reporter und Starkolumnist des Miami Harald, ist dem Establishment von Florida verhasst, greift er doch mit spitzer Feder genau jene Themen auf, die die skrupellosen Geschäftemacher im Sunshine State nicht an die große Glocke hängen wollen: Profitgier, Touristennepp und Umweltzerstörung. Seine Romane zeichnen sich durch spannende Plots, fräsenden Humor und pointierte Dialoge aus. Hiaasen gilt als bissiger Kritiker des amerikanischen Lifestyle. Carl Hiaasen
