Description

Bottom feeders beware: the Sunshine State’s favorite psychotic killer and lovable Floridaphile Serge Storms has found a new calling, legal eagle, and he’s going to make a killing as a crusading attorney—and star as a dashing lawyer on the big screen—in this madcap escapade from the insanely funny New York Times bestselling author Tim Dorsey.

When it comes to swimming with the sharks, there is no bigger kahuna than Serge Storms. Binging on a marathon of legal movies set in Florida, Serge finds his calling: the law. Never mind law school or that degree, Serge becomes a freelance fixer—wildcat paralegal and pilgrim to the hallowed places where legal classics of the big screen such as Body Heat, Cool Hand Luke, and Absence of Malice were filmed practically in his own backyard.

One of Serge’s old flames, young lawyer Brook Campanella, is also a rising star thanks to her expertise in the field of foreclosure law. Ruthless at taking down the greedy banksters kicking people out of their homes, she lands a major class-action lawsuit, and wins big. The opposition is determined to shut her down and they’ll go to extreme lengths to do it.

Luckily for her, Serge has been hired to do some investigative legwork on the case. There's nothing he likes better than saving a damsel in distress, especially when it means kicking a bunch of shyster butt. The mayhem comes to a hilarious head at the Key West courthouse, at the height of the island’s raucous Fantasy Fest street carnival, and no one, including Serge, will ever be the same.

    I always like the way things come together in the last few chapters of Tim Dorsey’s books!!! It’s always a great ending to another tale of the antics of Serge and his cohorts!!! It’s the chapters before that that I sometimes lose track of some of the newer characters. I like reading on my iPhone or iPad because I can easily look back to refresh my memory on exactly who the person is and how they relate to the story. Serge has so many flaws and good qualities it’s fun to see both sides of him. It’s sad to say there are people out there like him just hopefully not quite to the extreme of Serge and Colman!!!
  • Absolutely the best reading

    Never tire reading Tim Dorsey books! From the first words to the last, Mr. Dorsey has written another great book. I've read all of his books, and they get better and better as he develops his characters’ lives within.

    Dorsey's a madman! He must "think" funny. I've read every one of his books and always lol. No idea how he keeps doing it. If he reads this review, I suggest he researches, "Preston Henn" Ft Laud Swap Shop owner. Gobs of funny material.
  • Good read.

    They just keep getting better and better! Florida would not be Florida without Serge and Coleman.
