Another great one by Dorsey. This time Serge is on a secret mission to rid the world of scam artists. The Hotel Robbery Gang, as dubbed by Serge, has been knocking off undercover diamond couriers. Unfortunately for them, they roughed up the wrong guys friend. Serge's friend and fellow Floridafile, Howard, gets knocked off and roughed up. Serge, Coleman, and Howard's history buff/stripper sister take to the convention center coin show circuit to hunt down and eliminate "Jellyfish" and his gang.Many great and very creative murders in this one. Including what is probably Serge's most elaborate to date. Let me see if I can describe it.He has two guys wrapped in a rug with uninflated bicycle tire tubes wrapped around there necks. The tubs are hooked up to an electric air pump. He has jury rigged the pump so it will turn on when the circuit is completed by a electric train set (I believe it will only fill while the train is going over a certain section, so it will inflate at intervals causing drawn out death and more fear). The train is turned on by a doorbell that sends a wireless signal to the train set. Of course Serge himself doesn't ring the doorbell. Instead he sends a package of the diamonds that the thugs were trying to steal to the house where they are tied up, and checks off the signature required box. You do the math. If only I had such creativity back in my middle school shop class. This was the first Serge Storms book I've read. When first reading it, I contemplated not finishing it several times. I read the reviews on this site and decided to give it one more try. Like many of the other reviews stated, after the first handful of chapters the story starts to pick up and come together. The book did get better. Serge is definitely a different character from what I'm use to reading. Some parts did have me laughing out loud. I would consider reading other books in this series but will not go out of my way to find them. Rating three stars because it took me awhile to get into and find the rhythm of the story.
What do You think about Nuclear Jellyfish CD: Nuclear Jellyfish CD (2009)?
The kill count mounts as he travels through Florida. This is great stuff.
