Carl Hiaasen sets all of his novels in Florida; which makes sense, since he has lived there his entire life. That being said, he writes about what is most important to him: Florida and its landscape.
According to Biblio.com, "Hiaasen's Florida is that of greedy businessmen, corrupt politicians, dumb blondes, apathetic retirees, intellectually challenged tourists, and militant ecoteurs."
Biblio also classifies Hiaasen's work as most "environmental thrillers," which also goes into what makes him "tick."
I believe that his issues go hand-in-hand with his "tick." Just from the little I've read of his work (which at this point is about half of "Lucky You"), it's obvious that the preservation of Florida holds a place near and dear to his heart.
