Carl Hiaasen Quote

I mean, you’ve got thirty detectives working on this murder, right? You must have had a list of suspects. Not on this one. So what we’re talking about is blind luck. Some Beach cop nails the guy for running a traffic light and, bingo, there’s Mr. Sparky Harper’s missing automobile. Luck was only part of it, Garcia said sourly. Keyes said, You caught Cabal in the victim’s car, but what else?

About Carl Hiaasen

Carl Hiaasen (; born March 12, 1953) is an American journalist and novelist. He began his career as a newspaper reporter and by the late 1970s had begun writing novels in his spare time, both for adults and for middle grade readers. Two of his novels have been made into feature films.
Hiaasen's adult novels are humorous crime thrillers set in Florida. They feature casts of eccentric, sometimes grotesque characters and satirize aspects of American popular culture. Many of the novels include themes related to environmentalism and political corruption in his native state.
