Publisher's summary
Serge A. Storms embarks on a tour to meet his long-lost relatives in this latest madcap entry in the best-selling series from “Florida’s compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny” (Boston Globe) Tim Dorsey.
Devoted Floridaphile Serge Storms is a lover of history, so he’s decided to investigate his own using one of those DNA services from late-night TV. Excited to construct a family tree, he and Coleman hit the road to meet his kin. Along the way, he plans to introduce Coleman to the Sunshine State’s beautiful parks where he can brush up on his flora, fauna, and wildlife and more important, collect the missing stamps for his park passport book.
But as the old saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far....
Serge is thrilled to discover he may be related to a notorious serial killer who’s terrorized the state for 20 years and never been caught. Which one of his newfound relatives will be the one to help him hunt down this deranged maniac? Serge doesn’t know that a dogged investigator from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is also hot on the trail.
Then Serge meets a park ranger who’s also longing to make a family reconnection. But all is not as it appears on the surface, and Serge’s newfound friendship in the mysterious swamps of Florida may lead to deadly results.
Finding his own relatives has made Serge understand the importance of family. Of course he’ll do anything to help....

Andrew Yancy—late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff’s office—has a human arm in his freezer. There’s a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health Inspector gig (it’s not called the roach patrol for nothing).

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Story
My life was ordinary until three years ago when I was thrown out of a downtown hotel window. My name is Robbie Brownlaw, and I am a homicide detective for the city of San Diego. I am 29 years old. I now have synesthesia, a neurological condition where your senses get mixed up. Sometimes when people talk to me, I see their voices as colored shapes provoked by the emotions of the speakers, not by the words themselves. I have what amounts to a primitive lie detector.

Top favorite Serge book!
After hammerhead shark motel of course, I really enjoyed this edition to the Serge Saga. Had to re-listen with my boyfriend on a long road trip and we loved it, especially the ending. As always I can't help but say, don't hesitate and listen now!

Better than the best FLA travel log.
I spent many of my formative years driving through Florida so I love the roadtrips and the hisory behind many of the places and things I passed along the way. I love all the stories by authors that take place in south Florida, because it kind of takes me back in a way. I wish there were more authors like Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey- a combination of great stories and humor.

One of the best yet!
Mr. Dorsey never fails to spin a great tale, but this one was one of his best yet!
Serge is in top form with his creative kill schemes. Coleman is his usual ridiculous drug addled mess. Bobby and Heather Sparrow added a heartwarming and intriguing addition to the over all story arch.
I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone else.
If you love Serge, you won't be disappointed.
If you are new to the franchise, and just want a fun read, this is a good stand alone story, don't be afraid to take a chance.
(Wyman always gives a great reading.)

Better than ever!
Dorsey’s story telling keeps getting better and Wyman’s performance is awesome as always. Really appreciate the additional nuance in secondary characters in this and the past few books.

Serge at His Best
Always a Tim Dorsey/Serge fan! Another great story. This was my first Serge audio book. As such, I was a little disappointed as I had always pictured Serge with a deeper voice than this audio provided. Nonetheless, another great story.

Thanks Tim!
I’ve been waiting for this book since last year. Surge and Coleman adventures are the best! Even got my son in law hooked on these books. Now I gotta wait for the next one. I wonder if Emilia would’ve liked then too...
