<p><strong>From Florida's king of mayhem--"compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny" (<em>Boston Globe</em>) <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Tim Dorsey--comes a diabolically madcap adventure featuring the indomitable Serge A. Storms</strong></p><p>No one worships the Sunshine State as much as Serge. Perpetually hunting Floridian arcana and lore, he and his permanently baked sidekick, Coleman, are on the road again. This time they're on a frenzied literary pilgrimage that leads them back to Riviera Beach, the cozy seaside town where the boys spent their formative years.</p><p>Growing up, Serge was enthralled by the legend of Riviera Beach, aka Darby Pope, a welder at the port who surfed the local waves long before the hot spots were hot. A god on the water, the bighearted surfer was a friend to everyone--younger surfers, cops, politicians, wealthy businessmen and ordinary Joes--a generosity of spirit that earned him the admiration of all. Meanwhile, a much murkier legend made the rounds of the schoolyards of Serge's youth--that of the crazy hermit living in a makeshift jungle compound farther up the mysterious Loxahatchee River than anyone dared to venture.</p><p>Then Serge moved away. But he never forgot.</p><p>Now he's back in town, with those legends looming larger than ever in the rearview mirror of his memory. As his literary odyssey moves north from Key West, closer and closer to his old stomping grounds, Serge digs into the past as only Serge can. Along the way, he unintentionally disturbs some long-forgotten ground, attracting the attention of a cast of villains that only Florida could produce.</p><p>As the body count grows, so does the list of questions.</p><p>Why are the guys in the hard hats worried about the monkeys?</p><p>When do you hack a motel air conditioner?</p><p>How does Coleman get high with cat toys?</p><p>Who is expecting the dildo?</p><p>And will book tours ever be the same after Serge decides to check one out?</p><p>Told in alternating flashbacks between Serge's and Coleman's childhoods and the present day, <em>The Pope of Palm Beach</em> is a witty and deliciously violent delight from the twisted imagination of Tim Dorsey.</p>
