Synopsis "Trap Line "

From the bestselling author of Bad Monkey and Razor Girl and Bill Montalbano comes this compelling thriller set in Key West on the southern most end of America. With its dozens of outlying islands and the native Conchs' historically low regard for the law, Key West is a smuggler's paradise. All that's needed are the captains to run the contraband. Breeze Albury is one of the best fishing captains on the Rock, and he's in no mood to become the Machine's delivery boy. So the Machine sets out to persuade him. It starts out by taking away Albury's livelihood. Then it robs him of his freedom. But when the Machine threatens Albury's son, the washed-out wharf rat turns into a raging, sea-going vigilante. In Trap Line, Hiaasen and Montalbano pit a handful of scruffy Conchs against an armada of drug lords, crooked cops, and homicidal marine lowlife. The result is a crime novel of dizzying velocity, filled with wrenching plot twists, grimily authentic characters, and enough local color for a hundred tropical shirts. It's the Key West the tourist brochures won't tell you about: a place as crooked as Al Capone's Chicago and as irredeemably violent as Wyatt Earp's Tombstone.

Carl Hiaasen nació el 12 de marzo de 1953 en Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Desde niño mostró pasión por la escritura, incentivado por su padre al regalarle una máquina de escribir. Se graduó en periodismo en 1974 y comenzó su carrera como reportero en el Miami Herald desde 1976, donde trabajó en distintos roles hasta convertirse en columnista de opinión entre 1985 y 2021.

Paralelamente a su labor periodística, Hiaasen inició su carrera literaria en los años ochenta colaborando con William D. Montalbano en varias novelas de misterio. Su debut en solitario llegó en 1986 con Tourist Season, una comedia satírica ambientada en Florida. Desde entonces ha publicado numerosas novelas para adultos, muchas de ellas bestsellers, famosas por mezclar humor mordaz, acción y una crítica corrosiva a la corrupción política y el ecologismo descuidado, todo ello con un estilo muy centrado en su estado natal.

También ha disfrutado de gran éxito entre lectores jóvenes. Su novela Hoot ganó un prestigioso reconocimiento en la literatura infantil y fue adaptada al cine. Además, ha escrito títulos como Bad Monkey —convertido recientemente en serie de televisión— y diversos libros de humor y sátira política.

Hiaasen es considerado uno de los grandes cronistas sarcásticos de Florida, combinando un compromiso ambiental con un humor irreverente que ha conquistado a miles de lectores.
