Synopsis:
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!
Review:
Ah to live in Serge's mind! He is such a contrary character- whip smart with a wicked sense of right and wrong, and yeah a propensity to kill those who 'need' it. But he also seems to be a lone torch bearer for the 'Florida of old', and has the history knowledge to prove it. When he decides it's time to 'do the Florida thing' and move into a condo, you know you're in for a chaotic crazy ride of a book. You'll find yourself smiling, smirking and laughing out loud with all of his and Coleman's antics. Yet deep inside they both have a heart of gold, and when they set their minds to defending those who can't afford a good defense, you know the body count will start piling up. I dare you to finish this book and not laugh every time you see a blue car! Read it and you'll find out why- and you'll find out why I LOVE this series and am working my way through all the previous 24 books in it!
