Triggerfish Twist
Ensconced in a lovely tropical villa on idyllic Triggerfish Lane, Jim Davenport anticipates the good life to come. But this isn't living – it’s Florida and the neighbourhood is not quite what it seems. It’s got overly aggressive Little League parents, drug-free Rastafarians, homicidal hookers, unnatural sex and casual violence.
Oh, yes, and there’s a psychopathic serial killer-cum-Sunshine-State folklorist named Serge A. Storms living directly across the street. So it’s only a matter of time before Jim up and actually kills somebody . . .
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
'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'
'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'
'Hilarious... Serge Storms is, hands down, one of the most original and just-plain-captivating characters in modern crime fiction'
'Entertaining … funny … irreverent and loving at the same time … [Dorsey] leaves the reader gasping for breath'
'Twisted hilarity … a compelling page-turner … Tim Dorsey is one sick bunny'
