Clownfish Blues
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!

Reviews
Praise for the Serge Storm Series
'Entertaining … funny … irreverent and loving at the same time … [Dorsey] leaves the reader gasping for breath'
'A newer, nuttier individual is introduced on practically every page … It’s 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, Dorsey’s 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'
'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'
