Pineapple Grenade by Tim Dorsey
In this adventure Serge Storms bumps it up a notch, joining a CIA operation so covert even the agency doesn’t know about it.

First, there's the media frenzy over the "Hollow Man", a gutless corpse found on the beach. Could this be the work of Serge, that eccentric trivialista and one-man vigilante squad?

But also why is he extensively photographing foreign consulates right before the critically important Summit of the Americas comes to town? Does it have something to do with Serge's declaration to his ever-stoned sidekick, Coleman, that he's decided to become a spy?

The intelligence community isn't amused, and they want answers: How did Serge and Coleman get so cosy with the president of a banana republic? Who is the femme fatale with a heart of gold – and national pride? Why is the congressman in favour of the latest oil spill? When did everyone forget how to drive?

In other words, welcome to Tim Dorsey's slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

Reviews of the Serge Storms series:
“Hilarious . . . Serge Storms is, hands down, one of the most original and just-plain-captivating characters in modern crime fiction. ”
Booklist

“I almost exploded with laughter as I read. It’s manic, hysterical, and puts Dorsey well up there with the cream of comic writers satirizing America in the 21st century.”
Independent

“In Serge Storms, the convivial, schizoid torturer with an encyclopedic knowledge of Florida, Dorsey has created a truly lovable loon.”
Birmingham Post

“Twisted hilarity . . . a compelling page-turner . . . a book that, if it was not funny, would be very, very frightening.”
Belfast News Letter

“Dorsey’s prose scampers at a rate just this side of manic . . . Fans of the fast-read, you have met your match.”
Tampa Tribune

“A newer, nuttier individual is introduced on practically every page . . . It’s a sweet relief to discover that Dorsey can keep up with himself. Heaven knows nobody else can.”
Orlando Sentinel

“Irreverent and loving at the same time … leaves the reader gasping for breath.”
