About the Book

If you like your humour dark and twisty, then you'll love Tim Dorsey's outrageous Serge Storms series of crime novels. Part spree killer, part local historian, Serge and his human narcotic partner Coleman regularly carve a trail of destruction and marijuana roaches through the state of Florida. This time they're on a frenzied literary pilgrimage that leads them back to Riviera Beach, the cozy seaside town where the boys spent their formative years. Growing up, Serge was enthralled by the Legend of Riviera Beach, aka Darby, a welder at the port who surfed the local waves like no other, long before the hot spots were hot. But there was also a much murkier legend that made the rounds of the schoolyards from Serge's youth - of a crazy hermit living in a makeshift jungle compound farther up the mysterious Loxahatchee River than anyone dared to venture. Now Serge is back, with those legends looming larger than ever in the rearview mirror of his memory. As his literary odyssey moves closer and closer to his old stomping grounds, Serge digs into the past as only Serge can. Along the way, he unintentionally disturbs long-forgotten ground, attracting the attention of a cast of villains that only Florida can produce. In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned! AUTHOR: Tim Dorsey was a reporter and editor for the Tampa Tribune from 1987 to 1999 and is the author of ten previous novels: Florida Roadkill, Hammerhead Ranch Motel, Orange Crush, Triggerfish Twist, The Stingray Shuffle, Cadillac Beach, Torpedo Juice, The Big Bamboo, Hurricane Punch, and Atomic Lobster. He lives in Tampa, Florida.

Review :
Editorial reviews: "Hilarious. ... Serge Storms is, hands down, one of the most original and just-plain-captivating characters in modern crime fiction." Booklist "Entertaining ... funny ... irreverent and loving at the same time ... [Dorsey] leaves the reader gasping for breath." Washington Post Book World "The characters in Tim Dorsey's raucous novel would be shot on sight in any other state." The New York Times Book Review "Excellent ... I almost exploded with laughter as I read Dorsey's novel. It's manic, hysterical, and puts Dorsey well up there with the cream of comic writers who seem to have made Florida the centre for satirizing America in the 21st century." Independent "Twisted hilarity ... a compelling page-turner ... Tim Dorsey is one sick bunny." Belfast News Letter What readers are saying: "Over-the-top, off-the-wall, too-much-is-never-enough, Florida insanity was never described so authentically and with such enthusiasm." "Humor really doesn't get better than this. Dorsey has a style all to his own that is simply not replicated anywhere." "Serge and Coleman are a match made in heaven and I am still laughing ... truly a great read and I can't wait to delve into more of Dorsey's work." "This is Pulp Fiction on steroids with an acid tab chaser. There is insanity on every page and every page is a good time. Twists and turns, and some of the most creative homicidal mayhem I have ever read." "... for pure pleasure and entertainment you just can't beat the maniacal style of the Serge Storm series."
