Publisher's summary

The "compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny" (Boston Globe) Tim Dorsey returns with an insanely entertaining tale in which the inimitable Serge A. Storms sees dead people and investigates a creepy urban myth that may be all too real.

Though another devastating hurricane is raking Florida, its awesome power can’t stop the Sunshine State’s most loyal son, Serge A. Storms, from his latest scenic road trip: a cemetery tour. With his best bro Colman riding shotgun, Serge hits the highway in his ’69 gold Plymouth Satellite, putting pedal to the metal on a grand tour of the past. Beginning in Key West, the sunshine boys’ odyssey includes a forgotten mass grave in Palm Beach County holding the remains of African Americans killed by the Great Hurricane of 1928, and the resting place of one world-famous television dolphin (RIP Flipper) from the 1960s.

But one deadland - a haunted old sugar field - holds more than just the bones of those who’ve passed. For years, local children have whispered about a boogeyman hiding among the stalks. Could it be the same maniac known as Naked Florida Man who’s been raising hell all over the place? There are few things Serge loves more than solving a good mystery and bestowing justice on miscreants who sully his beloved home’s good name. With his partner bong boy, Florida’s psycho superhero will find the truth in this hilariously violent delight - packed with history, lore, and plenty of motel antics - from the insanely ingenious Tim Dorsey.

awesome and funny

it took me a while to get into this book but then the dry humor and the storyline sucked me in. what a ride, go Florida man.

or they might be into Amway!

I love the build up in Serge's tirades. He always makes a good point just before he delivers the u expected!;

Serge & Coleman at their best

Serge falls in love. What will Dorsey think of next! You can't help but want to. e Serges friend. As long as you like CRAZY.

Serge wins again

Another good story of Serge. Burried treasure and football are much needed during the Quarantine

This might be the best book in the series!

This book has everything I want in a fiction novel: lovable protagonists, despicable villains, a good plot, lots of action, great narration, and a happy ending. It's wonderful! This may be the best book in the series!

another winner from Tim Dorsey

I grew up in south Florida just a few years and a few miles from Tim. His books are always fun got me as I know the area. Often the stories inspire nostalgia. This one is right up with his best. Great story and characters.

Fantastically Entertaining

Wow was this fun. As a person who grew up in South Florida all the places in this story are quite familiar to me. The quirky characters and excellent narration were a blast. Truly a “FLORIDA MAN” story. Enjoy

Enjoyably Educationally Florida Facts with Fiction

Enjoyed the book. Fun story and as always an education in Florida history from todays perspective.

Quirky and laugh out loud good.

This book is absolutely quirky. It’s hero is insane in a “chaotic good” way.
I’d say it’s an adventure of Patrick and spongebob...if spongebob had spent time in conspiracy theory chat rooms while doing more caffeine than a meth head could handle.

If you’re within driving distance of Florida, it’s travelogue nature is a Huge bonus!

Great twist and turns

What a pleasant surprise. Great twists and turns and Florida geographic references. I could relate...
