The world's most lovable serial killer is back. During this latest cavalcade of nonstop felonies, Serge Storms finds time to resurrect his obsession with movies, particularly those showcasing his beloved Florida. And he wants answers! Why aren't more films shot there? How come the ones that are stink so bad?
Naturally, Serge, accompanied by his substance-sustained sidekick, Coleman, must immediately hop a transcontinental flight to straighten out Hollywood once and for all. But, of course, being Serge, his mission is sidetracked by perpetual detours to irresistible celluloid landmarks . . . and intrigue.
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'
'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'
'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'
'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'
'In Serge Storms, the convivial, schizoid torturer with an encyclopedic knowledge of Florida, Dorsey has created a truly lovable loon'
