Cadillac Beach: 6

If you like your humour dark and twisty, then you'll love Tim Dorsey's outrageous Serge Storms series of crime novels. Serge Storms, the history-loving, letter-writing, possibly certifiable serial killer, returns for another adventure. This time the one-man crime spree swings through Florida before settling down in Miami Beach to launch his long-overdue offbeat travel service. It's a labour of love as Serge forces customers to confront the underbelly of the American state's past and present. All while multi-tasking to battle the Palermo crime family, mystery assassins, local police, the FBI, the CIA, telemarketers . . . and solve a forty-year-old mystery involving the infamous Murph the Surf gem heist! In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!
