Nuclear Jellyfish - (Serge Storms) by Tim Dorsey (Paperback)

About the Book

Serge, the loveable collector of trivia, souvenirs, and murder methods is back with a new tour of Florida. This time, he's out to set the record straight. Guns, drugs, bloody crime scenes, historically relevant sex, and library quiet time all factor in to Serge's wild ride.

Book Synopsis

"Dorsey's brilliantly, profanely funny 11th novel...zips along like P.G. Wodehouse's best work."
--Richmond Times-Dispatch

Tim Dorsey's outrageously zany, gleefully violent, and uproariously funny Nuclear Jellyfish marks the triumphant return of lovable, thrill-killing Florida historian and tireless civic booster Serge A. Storms. The bestselling author of Atomic Lobster, Triggerfish Twist, and Florida Roadkill, Dorsey can match Carl Hiaasen punch-for-punch when it comes to fictionally depicting Sunshine State madness--and he's taken his rightful place alongside Christopher Moore in the pantheon of top American humorists. Nuclear Jellyfish is a veritable WMD of radioactive hilarity--as Denver's Rocky Mountain News so aptly puts it, "It doesn't get any better."

From the Back Cover

Just when you thought it was safe to go online, Serge A. Storms has returned! The lovable collector of trivia, souvenirs, and murder methods is upset that his beloved state isn't getting its proper recognition, so he signs on with the big Internet travel services. Soon Serge sets up his own wildcat of Florida site, hyper-blogging his way down the coast with his perpetually hammered sidekick, Coleman.

Unfortunately, Serge's Web presence catches the attention of his neme-sis, Agent Mahoney, and the chase is on. When professional robbery crews begin targeting trade show exhibitors, bodies begin piling up. Serge has had enough! He's forced into the only logical course of action--go shopping at Home Depot.
