Carl Hiaasen is an American novelist who writes adult and young adult thriller and crime fiction novels, but the common theme in his novels no matter what age he is writing for is the setting of Florida. Anyone who has read his novels can tell he holds the Sunshine State in high regard.

Carl Hiaasen started writing with co-author Bill Montalbano, but when Montalbano took a job as a foreign correspondent, he went solo with novels such as Tourist Season, Native Tongue and Strip Tease. Strip Tease was adapted as the 1996 movie Striptease with Demi Moore and Burt Reynolds. Below is a list of Carl Hiaasen’s books in order of when they were originally published:
