If you like your humour dark and twisty, then you'll love Tim Dorsey's outrageous Serge Storms series of crime novels. Few can give with the generosity and creativity of bighearted psychopath Serge Storms. Like Santa, Serge knows who's been naughty and who's been nice. As December 24 rolls around, he is to be found filling up the Serge sleigh with an unforgettable bag of presents. Dorsey offers the perfect antidote for all those sappy feel-good holiday stories with this zany blockbuster extravaganza in which his wonderfully deranged local historian-serial killer delivers his special brand of Christmas cheer. Welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America where nobody gets out unscathed and un-Santa-Claused! AUTHOR: Tim Dorsey was a reporter and editor for the Tampa Tribune from 1987 to 1999, and is the author of twenty-one previous Serge Storms novels.
The characters in Tim Dorseys raucous novel would be shot on sight in any other state.
