About the Book
In the latest laugh-riot thriller from the "New York Times"-bestselling author, Dorsey's hero, Serge Storms, is finally being chased by the authorities. Are his days numbered?Book Synopsis
"Dorsey differs from writers such as Carl Hiassen, James Hall, and Elmore Leonard...These guys fire bullets. Dorsey makes sure his gun is filled with hollow-point."
--Sarasota Herald Tribune
Readers who can't get enough of lovable serial killer Serge A. Storms can rejoice. He's back in Electric Barracuda--the latest outrageous romp through the Sunshine State by Tim Dorsey, master of the zany crime thriller. This time Serge is a fugitive running from the police, and murder and mayhem have never been more over-the-top hilarious. Tim Dorsey's Electric Barracuda is not to be missed. The Miami Herald put it best: "Nobody, but nobody, writes like this guy."
From the Back Cover
Serge Storms, that lovable thermonuclear vigilante, has been leaving corpses strewn across the Sunshine State for more than a decade. The authorities notice the body count, and send a task force to track down Serge. Could his luck finally have run out? Meanwhile, armed with his perpetually baked sidekick, Coleman, Serge decides to resurrect his Internet travel-advice website where you, too, can learn how to experience Florida through the eyes of a fugitive.
Off they go, blogging along a getaway route through the state's most remote bayous, back roads, and bars, where the number of cadavers begins stacking up like Serge's website hits. Clues and questions mount: Who are all the women being photographed in the swamp? And what made Coleman draw on his face with Magic Markers? In the meantime, Serge's grandfather's old Miami Beach gang suddenly has their life savings wiped out, and there's a good bet it was no accident. Too much action for Serge to juggle? Not when it involves his favorite new obsession: tracking Al Capone's little-known escapades in the Everglades.
