Star Island
Autor Carl Hiaasenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iun 2011
Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her "undercover stunt double," Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too "indisposed"-- meaning wasted -- to go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott.
Now the challenge for Cherry's handlers (über-stage mother; horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin publicists; weed whacker-wielding bodyguard) is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry's public -- and from Cherry herself. The situation is more complicated than they know. Ann has had a bewitching encounter with Skink, the unhinged former governor of Florida living wild in a mangrove swamp, and now he's heading for Miami to find her . . .
Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink track down Ann DeLusia before Cherry's motley posse does? All will be revealed in this hilarious spin on life in the celebrity fast lane.

Recenzii
Exhilarating return to form for the satirical Florida crime writer...a witty satire and a nail-biting thriller
His investigative journalist's eye for detail and his merciless, only-just exaggerated satire are a killer combination...wickedly funny
If you have never entered Hiaasen's world before, this is a wickedly funny place to start
Bright, breezy and hectic, Star Island wears its pessimism lightly. It is, in fact, a blast
This is Hiaasen back on top form and picking his targets with gleeful malice
Is there a funnier novelist on the planet than Carl Hiaasen? I hope not, because after nearly injuring myself reading his latest comic thriller I don't think my poor body could take it
Like a really good sandwich, made with a winningly simple recipe
