Hammerhead Ranch Motel
There's a different schemer or slimeball behind every door: cocaine duckpins who have survived only by the dumbest fortune, hard-luck gigolos desperate to score, undercover cops busting undercover cops who are running sting operations on undercover cops.
And just down the row, local historian and spree killer Serge Storms – who has stopped keeping up with his meds – is still looking for a briefcase stuffed with five million dollars . . . and is now capable of wreaking more havoc than hurricane Rolando-berto, the big wind gathering force offshore, just waiting for the opportunity to blow everything straight to hell.
Pack up your bags and head to Tim Dorsey’s slice of America. Leave your rational mind at home and come well armed. There's a room with your number on it at the Hammerhead Ranch Motel.

Reviews
Praise for the Serge Storm Series
'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'
'The characters in Tim Dorsey’s raucous novel would be shot on sight in any other state'
'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'
'In Serge Storms, the convivial, schizoid torturer with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Florida, Dorsey has created a truly lovable loon'
'Twisted hilarity … a compelling page-turner … a book that, if it was not funny, would be very, very frightening … Tim Dorsey is one sick bunny'
