Vince Vaughn on the poster for Bad Monkey

The Big Picture If you’ve ever stepped into an airport bookstore, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the name Carl Hiaasen. The bestselling author and journalist is well-known for his sunbleached, Florida-set crime novels, with memorable titles like Strip Tease, Tourist Season, and Bad Monkey among them.
