<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Serge Storms takes work as a freelance fixer in the style of his favorite legal movies before coming to the aid of a former flame who's being targeted by greedy bankers.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Bottom feeders beware: the Sunshine State's favorite psychotic killer and lovable Floridaphile Serge Storms has found a new calling, legal eagle, and he's going to make a killing as a crusading attorney--and star as a dashing lawyer on the big screen--in this madcap escapade from the insanely funny <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Tim Dorsey.</p><p>When it comes to swimming with the sharks, there is no bigger kahuna than Serge Storms. Binging on a marathon of legal movies set in Florida, Serge finds his calling: the law. Never mind law school or that degree, Serge becomes a freelance fixer--wildcat paralegal and pilgrim to the hallowed places where legal classics of the big screen such as <em>Body Heat, Cool Hand Luke</em>, and <em>Absence of Malice</em> were filmed practically in his own backyard.</p><p>One of Serge's old flames, young lawyer Brook Campanella, is also a rising star thanks to her expertise in the field of foreclosure law. Ruthless at taking down the greedy banksters kicking people out of their homes, she lands a major class-action lawsuit, and wins big. The opposition is determined to shut her down and they'll go to extreme lengths to do it.</p><p>Luckily for her, Serge has been hired to do some investigative legwork on the case. There's nothing he likes better than saving a damsel in distress, especially when it means kicking a bunch of shyster butt. The mayhem comes to a hilarious head at the Key West courthouse, at the height of the island's raucous Fantasy Fest street carnival, and no one, including Serge, will ever be the same. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Bottom-feeders beware--in this madcap escapade from insanely funny <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Tim Dorsey, Serge Storms, the Sunshine State's favorite psychotic killer and lovable Floridaphile, has found a new calling.
