Publisher Description

Sunshine State trivia buff Serge A. Storms loves eliminating jerks and pests. His drug-addled partner Coleman loves cartoons. Hot stripper Sharon Rhodes loves cocaine, especially when purchased with rich dead men's money. On the other hand, there's Sean and David, who love fishing and are kind to animals -- and who are about to cross paths with a suitcase filled with $5 million in stolen insurance money. Serge wants the suitcase. Sharon wants the suitcase. Coleman wants more drugs . . . and the suitcase. In the meantime, there's murder by gun, Space Shuttle, Barbie doll, and Levi's 501s. In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's Florida -- where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

"Take the World Series, a space shuttle launch, a crooked insurance company CEO, two ordinary guys on vacation, a wannabe Satanic death metal band, Latino hitmen, and the Florida Keys and puree in a blender. Pour out the results: Florida Roadkill by Tim Dorsey and enjoy."

Quotes

  • “The characters in Tim Dorsey’s raucous novel would be shot on sight in any other state.”

    — New York Times Book Review
  • “A blast…Floridian readers may laugh or wince as Dorsey skewers the state’s foibles and stereotypes.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “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.”

    — Booklist
  • “A good writer with plenty to say…To Dorsey’s eye, the Florida residents love is awash in racism, smut, dope, corruption, and casual murderous violence. You can tell he loves it still.”

    — Cleveland Plain Dealer
  • “A twitchy, edgy, romp through Florida’s seamy side.”

    — Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
