Carl Hiaasen's Lucky You is a darkly funny novel that takes a satirical look at the darker side of Florida. The novel follows the story of hapless real estate agent Jack Tagger, who becomes entangled with a cast of eccentric characters, including a mobster, a corrupt politician, and a group of environmental activists. Hiaasen's signature wit and social commentary shine through in this hilarious and thought-provoking novel.

Jack Tagger is a down-on-his-luck real estate agent who is desperate to sell a luxury condo in Palm Beach. When he meets Bunny Lamb, a wealthy widow who is looking to buy a new home, he thinks his luck is finally changing. However, Bunny Lamb is not all that she seems, and Jack soon finds himself caught up in a web of deceit and danger.

Bunny Lamb is a mobster's widow who is looking to launder her ill-gotten gains. She hires Jack to sell her condo, and she promises him a hefty commission if he can get her a good price. However, Jack soon learns that Bunny Lamb is not to be trusted. She is manipulative and ruthless, and she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Jack also becomes entangled with a corrupt politician named George McCallister. McCallister is a ruthless developer who is looking to build a new resort on a pristine stretch of coastline. He hires Jack to help him get the necessary permits, and he promises Jack a piece of the action if he can help him get his project approved.

As Jack becomes more and more involved with Bunny Lamb and George McCallister, he finds himself in over his head. He is caught between two dangerous people, and he is not sure who he can trust. He must use all of his wits and cunning to survive, and he must find a way to expose the corruption that is plaguing his beloved state.

Lucky You is a hilarious and thought-provoking novel that takes a satirical look at the darker side of Florida. Hiaasen's signature wit and social commentary shine through in this darkly funny novel about the Sunshine State.
