Basket Case by Carl Hiaasen
Journalist Jack Tagger wages a war to discover the truth behind the death of musician James Stomarti, formerly with the band Jimmy and the Slut Puppies. Was he murdered? Is someone trying to kill off the Slut Puppies one by one? And what significance does the dead lizard, Colonel Tom, have?
When a whole slew of authors admit to being influenced by Carl Hiaasen, it's clear that his cult status is fully establishedBut the strange, surrealistic quality of his writing is a hard act to sustain, and although such books as Tourist Season brilliantly create a world that is very much his own, there is a certain suspense with the appearance of each new Hiaasen title. Can he pull it off again? In the case of Basket Case, the answer is a resounding yes. This novel (with its mix of journalists, lizards and rock 'n' roll) is as outrageously entertaining as its predecessors and features Jack Tagger, a frustrated journalist whose inability to curb his tongue has consigned him to the obits page.
Carl Hiaasen was born and raised in Florida. His previous novels are Tourist Season, Double Whammy, Skin Tight, Native Tongue, Strip Tease, Stormy Weather, Lucky You and Sick Puppy, which together have been translated into twenty languages and are all available from Pan Books.
