Description

Fans of Carl Hiaasen or John Niven will love this third outing in the Serge Storms series.

The Republicans’ “golden boy” – and a loyal, unquestioning tool of the powerful special interests – handsome, unthreatening, Florida governor-by-default Marlon Conrad seems a virtual shoo-in for re-election. That is, until he undergoes a radical personality shift during a bloody military action in the Balkans.

Now it's just three weeks before the election and Marlon is suddenly talking about "issues" and "reform" as he crosses the length and breadth of his home state with an amnesiac speechwriter and a chief of staff who turns catatonic in the presence of minorities. The governor's new-found conscience might well cost him the election, though. And it appears that pretty much everybody from Tallahassee to Miami Beach is trying to kill him . . .

Welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

Advance Praise

“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 center for satirizing America in the 21st century.”

“Twisted hilarity … a compelling page-turner … a book that, if it was not funny, would be very, very frightening … Tim Dorsey is one sick bunny.”

Belfast News Letter

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

The New York Times Book Review

“High satire with a lowbrow sensibility that inevitably invokes comparisons to Carl Hiaasen …. Dorsey is compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny …. He puts a funhouse mirror in front of the political process and those who feed off it …. For readers with a high threshold for prurience and violence, Dorsey’s books are definitely funny ha-ha.”

Boston Globe

“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

“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 center...
