Orange Crush
The Republicans’ “golden boy” – and a loyal, unquestioning tool of the powerful special interests – handsome, unthreatening, Florida governor-by-default Marlon Conrad seems a virtual shoo-in for re-election. That is, until he undergoes a radical personality shift during a bloody military action in the Balkans.
Now it's just three weeks before the election and Marlon is suddenly talking about "issues" and "reform" as he crosses the length and breadth of his home state with an amnesiac speechwriter and a chief of staff who turns catatonic in the presence of minorities. The governor's new-found conscience might well cost him the election, though. And it appears that pretty much everybody from Tallahassee to Miami Beach is trying to kill him...
Welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

Reviews
Praise for the Serge Storm Series
'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'
'Jittery, bizarre, and utterly charming … Roadkill reads like Quentin Tarantino wrote it on a rum-and-speedball binge after baking too long in the ferocious August sun. Except Tarantino’s characters are a bit tame in comparison to some of Dorsey’s mangy minions'
'Dark yet wildly funny … Imagine the violence of Edna Buchanan married to the skewed worldview of Dave Barry; now you’re ready to meet Tim Dorsey'
'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 …'
