Try Tim Dorsey. He has 24 books in his series featuring Serge Storms—a psychotic Florida murderer with a bizarre sense of humor whose goal is to view and photograph and revere every historical landmark sign in the state—and his pal Coleman—one of the stupidest people alive. Carl Hiassen is the best (if you like bass fishing, you MUST read “Double Whammy”), but Dorsey is the best at combining shockingly violent retribution on idiots who disfigure the state of Florida with outrageous humor.
I taught popular classes in “Comic Crime Capers” at a university for a number of years, and after the first semester, I just taught Florida writers, as there were so many. Dorsey was usually the favorite.
