Gator a
Go Go by Tim Dorsey
Serge
and Coleman go on a marathon spring break road trip – what more do I need to say?
Book #12
in the zany Serge Storms series has Serge up to his usual bizarre antics. When he decides that spring break is the
perfect subject for his next documentary, naturally Serge can’t go to just one
location, but has to go on a road trip to all of the historic Florida spring
break hot spots. At Panama City Beach, their first stop, Serge encounters Andy McKenna, a college student in the witness protection program. The problem is, the Florida gangsters who years before were after his father are now after HIM. Characters from
previous novels in the series reappear, including the former owner of the
Hammerhead Ranch Motel, a pair of hot women called City and Country, and 40 year old perpetual virgin
Johnny Vegas (who despite being handsome, sexy and rich, just can’t seem to
score).
I’m not
sure why I enjoy this series so much.
Serge is a twisted knight errant who has his own code of ethics which he
adheres to faithfully: punishing jerks
in creative and appropriate ways, ignoring laws, protecting the innocent and
the victimized, and faithful to his friends, while disregarding social
conventions. In his own way, Serge is a
classic noir detective, and I do love noir fiction. Oliver Wyman reads the audio version and does a great job with Serge, Coleman and Mahoney.
