Bad Monkey

Book • 2013
In 'Bad Monkey,' Carl Hiaasen tells the story of Andrew Yancy, a former detective from the Miami Police and Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, who is now working as a health inspector.

Yancy's life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers a human arm in his freezer, which he believes may be evidence of a murder.

As he delves deeper into the mystery, he encounters a variety of colorful and unpredictable characters, including a voodoo witch, real estate speculators, and a mischievous monkey named Driggs.

The novel is a blend of dark comedy, satire, and crime fiction, critiquing the greed, corruption, and environmental degradation in Florida and the Bahamas.
