Description:
From Publishers Weekly

Having previously taken on dirty politics and corporate scandal, Dorsey now skewers Hollywood in his eighth over-the-top novel. Serge Storms (who insists he's not a serial killer because he gets no joy out of it; he's just doing his duty) strikes again (_Torpedo Juice_;_ Cadillac Beach_; etc.) with his strung-out sidekick, Coleman. Serge's new obsession is insisting that his beloved Florida be represented accurately in the movies and he's even taking a crack at writing a screenplay. He and Coleman end up in L.A., where mayhem ensues, most notably the kidnapping and murder of starlet Ally Street. Dorsey's cartoonish characters include the Glick brothers, slimy, coke-snorting owners of Vistamax Studios; ruthless director Werner B. Potemkin, whose over-budget/behind-schedule blockbusters cost people their lives; and unscrupulous agent Tori Gersh, who uses a rape accusation to secure a leading role for her client. Incorporating Ed McMahon and the prize van, Japanese investors and a trip to the Playboy Mansion, Dorsey takes wacky to a new level that readers will either love or hate. The litmus test is whether readers laugh when Serge tells the nursing home mogul he's about to kill that there is good news: "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance."

From

The manic (in fact, more like maniacal) Serge Storms, along with his always stoned, always clueless sidekick Coleman, are back for their eighth outrageous adventure. This time the boys are headed to Hollywood on an escapade that begins, innocently enough, with a letter written by Serge's recently deceased grandfather. The duo hits Tinseltown with a bang (literally) and is soon embroiled in a caper involving a kidnapped starlet, the Japanese yakuza, redneck gangsters, bumbling cops, and twin-brother movie producers who give new meaning to the term "casting couch." Serge and Coleman are an Abbott and Costello for the new millennium as they bumble their way from one ridiculous exploit to another while still saving the girl and giving the bad guys their just deserts. This screwball neo-noir is recommended for all popular fiction collections. Michael Gannon
