Clownfish Blues

If you like your humour dark and twisty, then you'll love Tim Dorsey's outrageous Serge Storms series of crime novels. Serge Storms, the history-loving serial killer, returns for another adventure. This time Serge and his substance-sustained sidekick, Coleman, take a mayhem-filled road trip through Florida in a vintage silver convertible Corvette. Moving from town to town and getting a new job each week - from worm-grunting to sign-spinning - they cause havoc wherever they go. But their adventure is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amidst a conga line of huge jackpots. Crooked bodega owners, drug cartels laundering money through the lottery, and venture capitalists are all trying to game the system--and lining up to get their cut. They're also gambling with their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely (and very lucrative) trip, there's no telling whose number is up next. In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America - where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!
