“On the morning of April 24, an hour past dawn, a man named Palmer Stoat shot a rare African black rhinoceros.”
Carl Hiaasen is an American journalist and novelist. He was born and raised in a bizarre place called Florida, where he still lives. His books have been described as savagely funny, riotous, and cathartic. Oddly, they are beloved even by readers who’ve never set foot in the Sunshine State. *-- Author's Website*
