Condo life amid Florida Keys crime

After years of road-tripping around Florida, Serge A. Storms and his sidekick, Coleman, settle into a condo community in the Keys. Their attempt at island life is complicated by a fight over investors renting units to partying vacationers, while a local drug-family succession sparks a gang war across the island chain. The setup brings neighborhood disputes and the Keys’ smuggling history into the same darkly comic crime caper. Serge intervenes in the condo conflict, and the story’s criminal turmoil gives the pair plenty to contend with beyond their new neighbors.

Book overview

Serge A. Storms gives condo living a try in this off-the-wall, acid-splashed Florida crime caper from the "insanely funny" (New York Times Book Review) Tim Dorsey.

"Delightfully madcap... This fiendishly funny adventure is irresistible." -- Publishers Weekly

Serge A. Storms and his permanently baked sidekick, Coleman, have decided to pump the brakes and live on island time. After years of manic road tripping across their beloved Sunshine State, the irrepressible anti-heroes drop anchor in the Florida Keys. They settle down in Pelican Bay, a thriving condo complex with scenic views and friendly neighbors. But the community is at war with investors who are buying up units and leasing them to young vacationers who party at all hours. With their little slice of heaven on the line, Serge takes it upon himself to convince the tourists to move on and quickly becomes a local favorite.

Meanwhile, the island chain's long and rich smuggling heritage is causing mayhem--a gang war erupts when a local drug lord passes the family business to his young, enterprising son, and the sun-loving residents are suddenly dodging bullets.

Luckily, Florida's most lovable serial killer is there to help!
