Cadillac Beach
Serge Storms, the history-loving, letter-writing, possibly certifiable serial killer, returns for another adventure.
This time the one-man crime spree swings through Florida before settling down in Miami Beach to launch his long-overdue offbeat travel service. It's a labour of love as Serge forces customers to confront the underbelly of the American state’s past and present.
All while multi-tasking to battle the Palermo crime family, mystery assassins, local police, the FBI, the CIA, telemarketers . . . and solve a forty-year-old mystery involving the infamous "Murph the Surf" gem heist!
In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

Reviews
Praise for the Serge Storm Series
'Hilarious... Serge Storms is, hands down, one of the most original and just-plain-captivating characters in modern crime fiction'
'The characters in Tim Dorsey’s raucous novel would be shot on sight in any other state'
'Hilarious … Dorsey’s prose scampers at a rate just this side of manic…Fans of the fast-read, you have met your match. As for the rest of you, just don’t wonder why everyone else is laughing'
'In Serge Storms, the convivial, schizoid torturer with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Florida, Dorsey has created a truly lovable loon'
'A good writer with plenty to say … To Dorsey’s eye, the Florida [that] residents love is awash in racism, smut, dope, corruption, and casual murderous violence. You can tell he loves it still'
'Entertaining … funny … irreverent and loving at the same time … [Dorsey] leaves the reader gasping for breath'
'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'
'Twisted hilarity … a compelling page-turner … Tim Dorsey is one sick bunny'
