Synopsis

The sequel to the remarkable Florida Roadkill – an extraordinarily original novel from a new young American author – a funny, stylish, irreverent and shocking thriller.

Tim Dorsey’s sparklingly original debut novel – Florida Roadkill – was a hyper, jump-cut, manic black comedy that took Florida Noir to new extremes. Fellow writers and critics were quick to acclaim the bright new talent that created a high-voltage crime tale suffused with blacker-than-black humour and an infectious fascination with Florida’s strange beauty.

In Florida Roadkill, the strangely lovable homicidal maniac Serge Storms drove a series of stolen cars around Florida in pursuit of five million dollars hidden in the boot of the wrong car, leaving behind him a bewildering trail of bodies. Now, Serge takes up the chase once more, tracking the car and its hidden money to a dilapidated motel in Tampa – the Hammerhead Ranch Motel.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Tim Dorsey grew up in Riviera Beach on Florida’ south-east coast, and for several years has worked as a journalist on the night desk of the ‘Tampa Tribune’ where his duties include sorting through endless reports of brutal an strange crimes. Humour is a natural defence reaction to editing this parade of dysfunction, violence and stupidity, and it has led to a surreal, Florida-noir way of looking at things that became first ‘Florida Roadkill’ and now ‘Hammerhead Ranch Motel’
