Book Synopsis Serge A. Storms is back on the road in the latest zany Florida caper from the wickedly funny ( Entertainment Weekly ) Tim Dorsey. After a long and arduous COVID-19 quarantine, Serge A. Storms is fully vaccinated and ready to hit the road. Along with his condo neighbors, he cooks up a wild plan to celebrate in true Serge fashion: each week, they rent a shuttle van and head out for funky Florida road trips and some serious revelry. Meanwhile, a CIA revenge operation down in Honduras goes very, very wrong. The local liaison hired to help with the mission is the only witness to the disaster, and the CIA quickly sets a black ops contractor on his trail to eliminate him. Forced to flee his home country, the witness lands in Miami with a new identity and passport. But the CIA is still on his tail, pushing him further and further south to the Florida Keys, where he runs into Serges convoy. With Floridas most lovable serial killer involved, the real party is about to get started... Review Quotes Can it still be hurricane season? Must be, because here come Serge A.

So its no surprise that in his latest, Naked Came the Florida Man , Dorsey reaches a new high in that respect. -- Newsday Dorsey has used his novels to showcase Florida, to embrace its eccentricities, its residents bizarre behavior and its unusual history. Dorsey shows he loves Florida in each novel...Dorsey ladles each novel with wide swaths of humor that is more guttural yet still funny. Like [Carl] Hiaasen, Dorseys humor is grounded in reality... Mermaid Confidential is more Keys-centric as he adds trivia and history that is so nectar-of-Florida. -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel Delightfully madcap...The suspenseful, seemingly unconnected subplots imaginatively intertwine as Dorsey brings everything to a suitably vicious and explosive finale. This fiendishly funny adventure is irresistible. -- Publishers Weekly on Mermaid Confidential Fans of the lovable Serge will enjoy his latest zany Florida adventures in Dorseys 25th series installment . -- Library Journal on Mermaid Confidential A wacky celebration of violence, depravity and the weirdness of Florida.

[has] been one delightful adventure after another. Storms is a wonderful character, a man with a can-do attitude and, well, a unique sense of retribution. You cant help liking the guy: he is, by all objective standards, a dangerously insane psychopath, but to Serge, its the rest of the world thats crazy, while hes merely a misunderstood crusader for law and order.
