If you like your humour dark and twisty, then you'll love Tim Dorsey's outrageous Serge Storms series of crime novels. The drinks are on local historian/spree killer Serge Storms, who's decided it's high time he got married. So he's motoring down to the Florida Keys the ultimate end of the line in search of Ms Right . . . And finding his doped-up basket case bud Coleman along the way. But for Serge, "getting hitched" doesn't necessarily mean "settling down" not when South Florida is crawling with slimeballs, swindlers, unrepentant jerks, and annoying bystanders whose ranks need some serious thinning. In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned! AUTHOR: Tim Dorsey was a reporter and editor for the Tampa Tribune from 1987 to 1999 and is the author of ten previous novels: Florida Roadkill, Hammerhead Ranch Motel, Orange Crush, Triggerfish Twist, The Stingray Shuffle, Cadillac Beach, Torpedo Juice, The Big Bamboo, Hurricane Punch, and Atomic Lobster. He lives in Tampa, Florida.

Praise for the Serge Storm Series 'Hilarious... Serge
Storms is, hands down, one of the most original and
just-plain-captivating characters in modern crime
fiction' Booklist
'The characters in Tim Dorsey’s raucous novel would be shot on
sight in any other state' New York Times Book Review
'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' Cleveland Plain Dealer
'In Serge Storms, the convivial, schizoid torturer with an
encyclopaedic knowledge of Florida, Dorsey has created a truly
lovable loon' Birmingham Post
'Twisted hilarity … a compelling page-turner … Tim Dorsey is
one sick bunny' Belfast News Letter
'Entertaining … funny … irreverent and loving at the same time …
[Dorsey] leaves the reader gasping for breath' Washington
Post Book World
'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' Independent
