A (Serge A.) Storm is brewing for a cabal of bad guys
gaming the Florida state lottery in this insanely funny
novel from the maestro of mayhem, Tim Dorsey.
If you’re loud and proud Floridian Serge A. Storms, how do
you follow up your very own remake of Easy Rider? You
shoot your own "episodes" of your favorite classic
television show, Route 66!
With Coleman riding shotgun, Serge is rolling down the
highway of his dreams in a vintage silver convertible
Corvette just like the snazzy car Martin Milner drove. It
doesn’t matter that the actual Route 66 didn’t pass
through Florida, for Serge discovers that a dozen episodes
near the series’ end were filmed (really!) in his beloved
home state. So for Serge and the always toked and stoked
Coleman, the Sunshine State is all the road you need to
get your kicks.
But their adventure traveling the byways of the Sunshine
State’s underbelly is about to take a detour. Someone is
trying to tilt the odds in the state lottery amidst a
conga line of huge jackpots spinning off more chaos than
any hurricane season. With this much at stake, of course
every shady character wants in. Crooked bodega owners,
drug cartels laundering money through the lottery, and
venture capitalists are all trying to game the system—and
lining up to get their cut. They’re also gambling with
their lives, because when Serge and Coleman get hip to
this timely (and very lucrative) trip, there’s no telling
whose number is up next.
Throw in Brooke Campanella, Serge’s old flame, as well as
the perpetually star-crossed Reevis, and it’s a sure bet
that the ever lucky Serge will hit it big. Winning has
never been this deadly—or this much fun!
