Welcome to a Caribbean paradise, a scintillating destination that's so lush with sun, sea and sand you'll want to hang on for the ride. But there's something lurking in the shadows: something sinister, even deadly. You see it soon enough when the night turns black and the vacationers start disappearing.

Carl Hiaasen's Double Whammy is a satirical novel that tells the story of an environmental activist who goes undercover for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection - only to find that corruption reaches someplace even more frightening than he had imagined.

The story begins with a run-of-the-mill Miami murder case. But then it gets more interesting when the victim is found to be both a prominent Florida state senator and a casual acquaintance of the mayor, who's gearing up for his own re-election campaign. The CEO of the company that's being investigated for environmental crimes is also involved in the investigation for that crime and may have something to gain from it.

"This morning's Miami Herald "reported" that the public defender in charge of defending accused transnational hit man Louis Garaude was heading to trial on charges including "assisting a fugitive from justice - a charge that would never fly in any other jurisdiction but this one."

While driving through the Florida Everglades, Willa and her husband come across a strange sight: a once-thriving tourist town called Chazzleton is waylaid with all of its cars lining the road. What they find next is even stranger: the 10-foot wide "No Trespassing" sign has been outfitted with an extendable arm that threatens to grab trespassers by the neck. The only thing more bizarre than this sign? The fact that it belongs to a real estate agent who'd done nothing wrong. When Willa's hubby figures out that the arm was meant for actual intruders, like thieves, she gets excited about their discovery and decides to sell it on eBay.
