Coconut Cowboy by Tim Dorsey
If you like your humour dark and twisty, then you'll love Tim Dorsey's outrageous Serge Storms series of crime novels. Obsessed with the iconic Sixties classic Easy Rider, lovable serial killer and movie buff extraordinaire Serge A. Storms devises his wildest plan yet: finish the journey begun by his freewheeling heroes, Captain America and Billy, tragically cut short by some shotgun-wielding rednecks. Setting a course for the Florida panhandle, Captain Serge with Coleman literally riding shotgun mounts his classic motorcycle and hits the highway, but the America he finds is a whole lot weirder than anything Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper encountered. In a state where criminal politicians are more common than gators, Serge and Coleman discover one particular speed-trap locale so aggressively inept at corruption that investigators are baffled where to start. Saddle up for Serge Storms' most epic, lethal, and hilarious road trip ever, in Tim Dorsey's slice of America where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!
