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!

— Aspasia (4 out of 5 stars)
“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" It's not as good as his other books. More of a pilot episode. The next book really reveals more of Serge's unique personality. "
— Will, 2/20/2014" This is the first book in the Serge Storms series that I inadvertently picked up with book 11 last year. This is more background and ground work for some of the story that carried through Nuclear Jellyfish. Still one of my current favorite book characters. "
— Anthony, 2/16/2014" ok sort of a carl hiiason on steroids, almost difficult to follow as there were so many wacked out characters, traveling everywhere in florida......interesting read "
— Thomas, 2/15/2014" read all his books except his last 5 they were all great. A great book to read if you want a good laugh. "
— Jeremy, 2/11/2014" This book has many references to Tampa, Florida. Although most of the key characters are quite horrid, it was still an interesting read. The author used to write for our local newspaper here in Tampa. "
— Kim, 2/6/2014" Another quintessential South Florida crime spree with stupid humans galore. Made slightly more interesting by the lead criminal nutbar's interest in Florida history and landmarks including a slight mention of my husband's uncle's dive bar in Tampa. "
— Marilyn, 1/20/2014" HILARIOUS! It had me falling out of my chair laughing the whole time (quite literally). Not much in the way of plot and character development, but it was really, REALLY funny. If you're ever looking for an easy but fun read, this is perfect. "
— Titi, 1/15/2014" I found it funny and macabre at the same time. Looking forward to reading some of Dorsey's other books. Enjoyed the irreverent humor and the bizarre characters. "
— Chris, 1/11/2014" Dark graphic humor. I was shocked at first. Once I realized it was a both parody and release of the author's past experience I viewed it with laughter, tears, and ... shock still. "
— Bob, 1/9/2014" the first in the series. Dorsey finds his momentum in later novels, but still entertaining "
— Marie, 1/7/2014" A wonderfully demented book about a serial killer. It is chock a block full of Florida strangeness. Well worth a read "
