Synopsis

Channeling his inner Easy Rider, Serge Storms saddles up for his most epic, lethal, and hilarious road trip ever as he revvs off to find the lost American Dream . . . starting in the Florida Panhandle.Obsessed with the iconic Sixties classic Easy Rider, encyclopedic Floridaphile, lovable serial killer, and movie buff extraordinaire Serge A. Storms devises his wildest plan yet: finish the journey begun by his freewheeling heroes, Captain America and Billy, tragically cut short by some shotgun-wielding rednecks.Setting a course for the Florida panhandle, Captain Serge—with Coleman literally riding shotgun—mounts his classic motorcycle and hits the highway in search of the real America: the apple-pie-eating, freedom-swilling moms and pops of Main Street USA.But the America he finds in the rural burgs dotting the neck of the peninsula is a little bit different . . . and a whole lot weirder than anything Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper encountered. In a state where criminal politicians are more common than gators, Serge and Coleman discover one particular speed-trap locale so aggressively inept at corruption that investigators are baffled where to start.Expect nothing less than madness, mayhem, ingenious homicides, and mind-altering pharmaceuticals when Serge and Coleman’s path intersects with the Sunshine State’s hyper-dysfunctional rusticity.Where’s Jack Nicholson when you need him?

Goodreads review by Mort

If you don’t know Serge A. Storms, this is all you need to know: He is a walking encyclopedia about anything Florida, he has a genius IQ and he is always on the move. If he wasn’t such a great guy, he could have been an evil genius, instead of only killing those who offends him or his sensibilities.......more

Goodreads review by Brian

“Here’s an all-points bulletin…everyone’s a pervert. It’s just a question of how in fashion your uncontrollable quirks are.” “Coconut Cowboy” is one of the better attempts recently in Tim Dorsey’s Serge A. Storms series. I was more engaged with this one, and found the blend of comedy, story, and writ......more

Goodreads review by Craig

I am amazed and impressed that Tim Dorsey has written 19 books about his Florida-obsessed serial killer Serge Storms. I am even more amazed and impressed at how good this one is. My favorite remains "Orange Crush," because it's the best satire of Florida politics ever printed. But this one comes in......more
