[Hiaasen is] a master of the comic crime novel." -- People "Hiaasen delivers a culpable caper that's a pleasurable hit." -- USA Today "A riot. . . It's one thing to be twisted and funny.

The real music here is Mr. Hiaasen's self-assured banter." -- The New York Times "Riled, righteous, and rip-roaring funny. . . Hiaasen's novels ought to bear the warning label: may be hazardous to your sides. They may split." -- New York Newsday "[Hiaasen] is head and shoulders above the rest. . . . Straight crime fiction with a biting, satiric edge, and it proves what his hardcore fans have known for a long time--he is, at heart, simply a great storyteller and a better writer." -- Charleston Post and Courier "Great good fun. . . Basket Case is typical Hiaasen.

Synopsis
A rollicking and hilarious novel from the bestselling author of Bad Monkey and Razor Girl. Jack Tagger's years in exile at the obituaries desk of a South Florida daily haven't dulled his investigative reporter's nose for a good story. When Jimmy Stoma, the infamous front man of Jimmy and the Slut Puppies, dies in a fishy scuba accident, Jack sees his ticket back to page one--if only he can figure out what really happened. Standing in his way are, just for starters, his ambitious young editor, who hasn't yet fired anyone but plans to "break her cherry" on Jack; the rock star's pop-singer widow, who's using the occasion of her husband's death to relaunch her own career; and the soulless, profit-hungry owner of the newspaper, whom Jack once publicly humiliated at a stockholders' meeting. Following clues from the late rock singer's own music, Jack tries to unravel the lies surrounding Jimmy Stoma's strange fate., NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A rollicking and hilarious novel from the bestselling author of Squeeze Me and "Florida's most entertainingly indignant social critic" ( New York Times Book Review ).

- e***j (78)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoOk, so this is complicated... They totally messed up the FIRST shipment, and made it go to a town TWENTY-SIX miles from my address! But they were QUICK TO RESPOND; helped me get a REPLACEMENT book; AND got the replacement here in a good time-frame. I gave them a POSITIVE review ONLY because of how they handled FIXING THE ISSUE. The item came in BRAND NEW and was packaged well. But... they have a bad rep of sending the wrong item or messing up the address info. They need to be more careful.
- 7***5 (218)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItem is just as described, although it’s pictured larger than actual size; which is the size of a deck of flash cards. Also disappointed that the item was mailed to wrong address or customer mix up & no one responded to my email or apologized or explained why item was sent somewhere else. I don’t know if this is a reflection of seller or seller’s employees? I had a project to use it on & just moved forward. Thank you seller.
- 7***r (587)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoNice book at a good price. Only issue I had with this Seller is the fact they use a "third party" shipping company called OSM Worldwide, that is very poor at their job. This third party caused a delay of 3 to 4 days at least in my receiving the book I purchased. I have contacted the Seller and made them aware of this issue. Should you decide to do business with this Seller just be aware that your book may take longer than usual to arrive.
