Synopsis

The ""compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny"" (Boston Globe) Tim Dorsey returns with an insanely entertaining tale in which the inimitable Serge A. Storms sees dead people and investigates a creepy urban myth that may be all too real.Though another devastating hurricane is raking Florida, its awesome power can’t stop the Sunshine State’s most loyal son, Serge A. Storms, from his latest scenic road trip: a cemetery tour. With his best bro Colman riding shotgun, Serge hits the highway in his ’69 gold Plymouth Satellite, putting pedal to the metal on a grand tour of the past. Beginning in Key West, the sunshine boys’ odyssey includes a forgotten mass grave in Palm Beach county holding the remains of African Americans killed by the Great Hurricane of 1928, and the resting place of one world-famous television dolphin (RIP Flipper) from the 1960s.But one deadland—a haunted old sugar field—holds more than just the bones of those who’ve passed. For years, local children have whispered about a boogeyman hiding among the stalks. Could it be the same maniac known as Naked Florida man who’s been raising hell all over the place? There are few things Serge loves more than solving a good mystery and bestowing justice on miscreants who sully his beloved home’s good name. With his partner bong boy, Florida’s psycho superhero will find the truth in this hilariously violent delight—packed with history, lore, and plenty of motel antics—from the insanely ingenious Tim Dorsey.

Goodreads review by James on January 30, 2020

You had me with “Florida Man” in the title and that bright orange hue on the cover. The book’s innards were just as good! As a lover of History and someone with Florida in his DNA I cannot recommend this book highly enough.......more

Thank you edelweiss for this advance copy. Tim Dorsey can drive me nuts with his Serge and Coleman tales and this one is no different. The crazy characters, the methods of death, most bizarre, the locations. Has you double checking “do these places exist?” It seems most of them do. Serge seems to be......more

Goodreads review by David on August 23, 2020

It's a series I don't recommend to just anyone. In fact, I don't think the majority of my reading friends would care for it. For me, however, the combination of adolescent humor, inventive executions of the worst humans, and the most comprehensive and entertaining tour of Florida, not to mention the......more

Goodreads review by Christian on July 05, 2020

Came into this unprepared having never read any of the other Serge Storm books. This book was wild. Love the setting and the Florida history facts, some of which I hope to follow up on. Some of Serge's rants lost me a little but not enough to stop me from moving forward. By the end, I was satisfied......more

Goodreads review by Mark on February 16, 2020

Was pretty sure that I was reading a Carl Hiaasen book, but no, Tim Dorsey seems to be a real person. I guess I need to go back and start in on these from the first, because it was a romp. Bonus: learning a bit about Florida history and geography. For example, the Okeechobee Waterway that cuts clear......more
