Breeze Albury was basically an honest man until the machinations of the Machine (the Cubans) and a group of Colombians toss him into a high stakes game.

When the Machine plots with the Colombians to do away with him, Breeze, his girlfriend Laurie, and a number of fed-up Key West residents devise a pl

Well crafted, but the Hiaasen humour I've come to know and love merely peeked out from a few characters. What I liked most about this was the length. What ever happened to the 250-280 page novel? The story wasn't lacking, and I wasn't left thinking: "gee, I wish there was another 100 pages of deep reflection and soul searching by the protagonist, or perhaps an increase in lengthy exposition to really make this book worthwhile."

This book is not for the feint of heart. It is a slice of what might be the underworld of Key West -and includes a variety of mean and nasty characters from both north and south of the border. While I enjoy the political statements Carl Haiassen weaves into his fun books about Florida, this book is more compelling and written like a news documentary. And proves that the good guys can finish in the lead.

Fast-paced thriller, chock full of intrigue that grabs the readers, pulling them into the trapline of corruption, bad cops, smugglers, drug lords, and the Conchs, the real people of the Florida Keys.

When I get a Hiassen book while on vacation, there can be only one result: the book is completed in 24 hours or less.

Typical Hiassan....great Keys story. A little formulaic with the small town politics/ corrupt sheriff, but well told.

I love the poetic justice of Hiaasen and Montalbano. So I suppose this should be construed as a guilty pleasure of mine -- the "Happy Ending"
(of sorts).

I'm originally from South Florida and this is an excellent story that would keep any native captivated. Its a great depiction of what life USED to be like there.

Great read! Lot's of action and suspense. Plus if you have ever spent any time on the Keys, it's pretty cool to read about places that you have seen and been to.
