Perfect for you if...

You love crime fiction that's genuinely funny without sacrificing the dark edge. You've read other Serge Storms books and want more of his deranged Florida-first philosophy. You appreciate satire that skewers specific targets, like the film industry's vapidity and excess.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer crime thrillers played straight without comedic deflation. You haven't read earlier Serge books and need a traditional entry point to the character. You're bothered by protagonists who kill people, even when it's meant as dark comedy.

About this book

Serge A. Storms, a serial killer and Florida enthusiast, abandons his marriage plans to pursue a new objective: persuading the movie industry in California to film productions in Florida. He travels to Hollywood with Coleman, his drug-addicted companion, where they encounter cocaine-using producers and visiting Yakuza members involved with a failed major film production. While there, Serge targets what he views as corrupt Hollywood figures. This is the eighth book in the Serge Storms series.
