Publisher Description

Tim Dorsey continues to collect accolades from critics and fans for his wildly funny, madcap novels featuring serial killer and Florida historian Serge Storms. In The Stingray Shuffle, Serge is off his meds, and that means no one is safe, including Russian thugs, Jamaican mobsters, spoiled frat boys, or awful lounge acts. And there's still the issue of that missing suitcase containing a cool five million in cash.

"Like all Tim Dorsey novels, the main character is Serge Storms, a serial killer who roams around Florida. In Serge's defense, he only kills people who deserve to die (according to Serge). Serge's travels with his doped-up sidekick Lenny get tedious but the main attraction in a Tim Dorsey novel is the subplots and the minor characters. They are the heart and soul of his books and this one is no different. These characters include: the only drug lord in history who can't make money selling cocaine; a bunch of ex-KGB agents scratching for odd jobs (preferably ones that entail violence); a book club consisting of five middle-aged divorcees, a gang of fourth-rate night club performers. They (or most of them) and Serge take a mystery train ride from Manhattan to Florida. The ride is the best part of the book and is hysterically funny."

    " Another excellent read in the Serge Storms series. Serge wreaks havoc along the East Coast in this adventure as fiction mimics fiction. I can't wait to jump into the next book in the series. "

    " Dorsey never fails to weave a great mystery full of facts about Florida (and in this book trains and NYC) with a never to be predicted ending. Follow no one! "

    " Reading Dorsey is like eating candy. At first it's the most delicious thing you've ever had in your life and you can't get enough. But after a while it just gives you a headache, and then you don't want to finish it, and then you never want to see it again. "

    " I enjoy reading Tim Dorsey - but I had a hard time with this book. I think it is one of those books where you really need to have read the series in order to completely follow what is going on. However, I do really enjoy his writing and the bizarre situations his characters find themselves in. "

    " Colorful criminals and seedy settings, one of the better Florida-style caper novels I've read. Dorsey did an exceptional job writing some of the gags, parts of the dialogue, and the surprising set-ups, but the ending was weak. "

    " Ludicrously funny mobster comedy lark but be warned, it's only really funny if you've lived in Florida, and all the insanity of the A1A comes screaming back; even funnier if you've hung around Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach et al. Worth a giggle, thanks Brian. "
