Fever Beach by Carl Hiaasen is another fun and entertaining novel by the author, whose books include Razor Girl, Squeeze, Me, Skink: No Surrender, Bad Monkey, Star Island, Nature Girl, Skinny Dip, Basket Case, Sick Puppy, Lucky You, Native Tongue, and Stormy Weather.
Unsavory and inept characters in Fever Beach include Dale Figgo, a dumb as a fencepost white supremacist leader of his group Strokers for Liberty, Claude and Electra Mink, the elderly right-wing politician funding racists who run a corrupt foundation whose benefactors include the Wee Hammers, a housing scam with the construction provided by children, and politician Clure Boyette, a cheating on his wife womanizer in office because of his father.The likable and on the side of good characters in the book are Viva Morales, an employee of the Minks and renter of Dale's in the house owned by his mother, Galaxy, the 25-, but purported to be 17,-year-old escort that has dirt on Boyette, and Twilly Spree, the prone to dramatic acts of violence environmentalist who gets involved with Morales and sets his sights on taking down Figgo and his efforts.
