Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Fred

OK, I'm hooked on the series. Whenever one is published I manage to track down Tim Dorsey and grab a signed copy. (He must be the hardest working author in the business - check his website, he is everywhere. I mean New Hampshire bookstores in February! It helps that he is an interesting and nice guy......more

Goodreads review by Doug

Tim Dorsey's "Shark Suite" defies simple description as a suspense novel or conventional mystery. His style and voice are uniquely amusing but engaging. The story that follows a crazed path through Florida is a combination mystery novel / legal thriller but told with a oddly amusing sense of humor .......more
