This book was like reading Carl Hiaasen on steroids! It takes place in the Florida of Hiaasen with a cast of wacky characters who for the most part engage in random acts of mindless and reckless behavior including murder and mayhem across the State of Florida. These include a killer stripper, bikers without bikes, an alcoholic dentist, a despicable retirement community manager, and miscellaneous drug cartel killers looking for $5 million dollars ripped off through an insurance scam. The innocents in the novel are two friends on vacations just looking for some fishing and wanting to see the Florida Marlins play in the 1997 World Series.

Then there is Serge Storms--a serial killer who is also out to get the $5 million and who suffers from mental disorders, but loves Florida history and trivia. He and his buddy Coleman wreck havoc across the State in search of the money.

This novel was entertaining and laugh out loud funny in some spots. It was also extremely violent and meandered all over the place before it came to a conclusion that left you wanting to read the next in the series. Mild overall recommendation.
