Also worth a look are Christopher Brookmyre's books which feature Jack Parlabane, such as Quite Ugly One Morning and Country of the Blind.

BTW, I also have all the Flashman series and it is probably my favourite series of books ever - I re-read Flashman and the Redskins for about the 10th time just recently.
Which of Hiaasen's books do you sugest? I'm thinking "Skinny Dip".

GOOD GRIEF I just checked out "Skinny Dip" and can't believe the prices.

The other books are much better priced.
