Description

If you like your humour dark and twisty, then you'll love Tim Dorsey's outrageous Serge Storms series of crime novels. Serge Storms, the history-loving serial killer, returns for another adventure. This time Serge and his substance-sustained sidekick, Coleman, take a mayhem-filled road trip through Florida in a vintage silver convertible Corvette. Moving from town to town and getting a new job each week from worm-grunting to sign-spinning they cause havoc wherever they go. But their adventure is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amidst a conga line of huge jackpots. Crooked bodega owners, drug cartels laundering money through the lottery, and venture capitalists are all trying to game the system--and lining up to get their cut. They're also gambling with their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely (and very lucrative) trip, there's no telling whose number is up next. 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.

Reviews

A newer, nuttier individual is introduced on practically every page Its a sweet relief to discover that Dorsey can keep up with himself. Heaven knows nobody else can

High satire with a lowbrow sensibility that inevitably invokes comparisons to Carl Hiaasen . Dorsey is compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny . He puts a funhouse mirror in front of the political process and those who feed off it . For readers with a high threshold for prurience and violence, Dorseys books are definitely funny ha-ha.

Entertaining funny irreverent and loving at the same time [Dorsey] leaves the reader gasping for breath.

Hilarious. ... Serge Storms is, hands down, one of the most original and just-plain-captivating characters in modern crime fiction.
