Synopsis
More mayhem, madness, and mystery ensue in Tim Dorsey's seventh entry in "Florida's hottest helter-skelter, hallucinogenic freak show" ( Publishers Weekly ). Though he may not always show it, lovable serial killer Serge Storms has a romantic side. Sure, life as a fugitive on the Overseas Highway has been fun. But it's been lonely too, especially now that he's hit the beautiful Florida Keys. Serge wants a bride. And nothing will come between him and his soul mate ... when he finally hunts her down. On the road to finding Ms. Right, Serge will hook up with an astonishing array of scoundrels, schemers, and hoodlums, including an old accomplice he thought was long dead; a gaggle of irregular regulars at the No Name pub, a remote bar in the Keys' back country; a drug kingpin with a penchant for solitude and brutality; and a notorious real estate swindler who sets Serge's heart aflutter. And while the course of true love is never smooth, things soon go wildly out of control with a lovesick Serge hilariously leading the way., The drinks are on us Serge A. Storm returns -- and so does Tim Dorsey -- for another hilarious tour of the wacky underside of the Sunshine State. And this time our lovable but maniacal hero is on a mission: Stay off police radar and reinvent himself. Naturally Serge makes a beeline to the Reinvention Capital of the United States, the Florida Keys, where nobody is who they seem to be and the freaks are the least of your worries. The perfect place for Serge to blend in Unfortunately, some other less likable lunatics have latched on to the same idea, and the sheriff's fax machine keeps jamming because of all the APBs coming in like a storm front about to break ... Lurking beneath paradise are many questions: Who is the mystery driver of the metallic green Trans Am? The brown Plymouth Duster with Ohio plates? What about the white Mercedes with tinted windows? Who can keep it all straight? Serge can At least when he's not conch blowing, Seven-Mile Bridge running, underwater romancing, operating an all-inclusive twelve-step program, or trying to convince his accidental posse that he's not the messiah. But the questions only lead to more questions: Why is everyone afraid to set foot on No Name Key? Why are they more afraid of the smuggler left over from the old days, when all the phone booths are covered with drug dealers' numbers? What was Serge thinking when he got married? What was she thinking? Who rises from the dead to wreak havoc on the newlyweds' bliss? Will the Skunk Ape win the scavenger hunt? Who will survive the Key West beach bash from hell? And why is everyone hammered all the time? Maybe it's something in the Torpedo Juice ..., More mayhem, madness, and mystery ensue in Tim Dorsey's seventh entry in "Florida's hottest helter-skelter, hallucinogenic freak show" (Publishers Weekly). Though he may not always show it, lovable serial killer Serge Storms has a romantic side. Sure, life as a fugitive on the Overseas Highway has been fun. But it's been lonely too, especially now that he's hit the beautiful Florida Keys. Serge wants a bride. And nothing will come between him and his soul mate ... when he finally hunts her down. On the road to finding Ms. Right, Serge will hook up with an astonishing array of scoundrels, schemers, and hoodlums, including an old accomplice he thought was long dead; a gaggle of irregular regulars at the No Name pub, a remote bar in the Keys' back country; a drug kingpin with a penchant for solitude and brutality; and a notorious real estate swindler who sets Serge's heart aflutter.

    Book arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. But a comment is in order about the tracking. Piss-poor! Labeled 'UPS', but delivered by USPS. The tracking says it's still on the way despite being delivered yesterday. Several "Delivery dates" were posted on their site, which came and went. The 'Contact information' said that calling them would yield nothing more than their site offered, which was nothing. So, pleased by the product and packaging, my only complaint being of the tracking.

  • Serge Rules!

    Great Book! I have read them in order of publication and they are all great if you like wacky humor. Sort of a Dave Barry meets Monty Python meets Quentin Tarantino!! I look forward to the next book before I'm even finished with the one I'm in!
