Another guy I’ve just come across who is really reminding me of Hiassen in his fiction is Alan Rolnick. He’s just written a book called Landmark Status, all about greed, corruption and overdevelopment in Florida, all written in a sharply witty, snappy dialog style that compares to the great Elmore Leonard. The thing is he also retains this social conscience throughout, making this as much a satire as it is a comedic mystery novel.
