Native Tongue by Carl HiaasenWriter Carl Hiaasen is an investigative journalist and columnist for the Miami Herald. As such his books have a tendency to be set in Florida, particularly in the Miami area. They are not exactly a series, in that they do not have a recurring main character. But some characters do reappear in other books. This particular book is set at North Key Largo.

It's August of 1974, a summer "hot and serious and full of death and betrayal," and Watergate and the Vietnam War make the world feel precarious.
