NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A lovable con woman and a disgraced detective team up to find a redneck reality TV star in this raucous new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Squeeze Me.
"Carl Hiaasen's irresistible Razor Girl meets his usual sky-high standards for elegance, craziness and mike-drop humor." --The New York Times Merry Mansfield, the eponymous Razor Girl, specializes in kidnapping for the mob. Her preferred method is rear-ending her targets and asking them for a ride. Her latest mark is Martin Trebeaux, owner of a private beach renourishment company who has delivered substandard sand to a mob hotel. But there's just one problem: Razor Girl hits the wrong guy. Instead, she ends up with Lane Coolman, talent manager for Buck Nance, the star of a reality TV show about a family of Cajun rooster farmers. Buck Nance, left to perform standup at a Key West bar without his handler, makes enough off-color jokes to incite a brawl, then flees for his life and vanishes.

Critics’ reviews
Praise for this book
"Carl Hiaasen's irresistible Razor Girl meets his usual sky-high standards for elegance, craziness and mike-drop humor." --The New York Times "Vintage Hiaasen, in the very best way: darkly funny, unapologetically crazy, and more Florida than a flamingo eating a Cuban sandwich while singing a Jimmy Buffett song." --NPR Books "Raucous ... It's a classic Hiaasen setup, and Razor Girl delivers on it with seasoned, professional ease." --The Washington Post "One of the wildest, funniest Hiaasen novels yet." --The Daily News "In Florida it's usually too hot to move very fast, but Carl Hiaasen, a native son of the Sunshine State, likes to hit the ground running.... The secret is Hiaasen's premium, high-grade comic prose, which keeps everything at the right temperature. In Florida, you have to know how to stay cool." --The New York Times Book Review
