Very different from Carl Hiaasen. In Hiaasen's books, there are good guys and there are bad guys. In this book, the good guys turn on each other in the end just like the bad guys, and show no moral qualms throughout the book while doing very nasty things to innocent bystanders, so it's a refreshingly cynical viewpoint on life. I wonder if anybody's making a film of this yet? It certainly has the plot and dialogue to fit one.
