Clownfish Blues: A Serge Storms Adventure

Autor Tim Dorsey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2019
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!

Textul de pe ultima copertă

If you’re loud and proud Floridian Serge A. Storms, how do you follow up on your very own remake of Easy Rider? You shoot your own “episodes” of your favorite classic television show, Route 66! With Coleman riding shotgun, Serge is rolling down the highway of his dreams in a vintage silver Corvette. It doesn’t matter that the actual Route 66 doesn’t pass through Florida, for Serge discovers that a dozen episodes near the show’s end were filmed (really!) in his beloved home state. So for Serge and the always toked and stoked Coleman, the Sunshine State is all the road you need to get your kicks.
But their adventure traveling the byways of Florida’s underbelly is about to take a detour. Someone is trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amid a conga line of huge jackpots, resulting in more chaos than any hurricane season. Soon every shady character wants in—crooked bodega owners, drug cartels laundering money, and venture capitalists trying to win one for the mathletes. They’re also gambling with their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to this timely trip, there’s no telling whose number is up next.
