The Andrew Yancy series consists of two novels: Bad Monkey (2013) and Razor Girl (2016). Both follow a former Florida Keys detective who was demoted to restaurant inspector but can’t stop investigating crimes. In Bad Monkey, a severed arm found by a tourist fisherman kicks off an investigation that leads Yancy to the Bahamas. Razor Girl involves a complicated scheme centered around reality television.

The two books showcase Hiaasen at his sharpest, with a protagonist who balances cynicism with a stubborn sense of right and wrong. Bad Monkey’s adaptation for Apple TV+ introduced Yancy to viewers who may not have read the novels.
