"Dorsey differs from writers such as Carl Hiassen, James Hall, and Elmore Leonard...These guys fire bullets. Dorsey makes sure his gun is filled with hollow-point."
--Sarasota Herald Tribune

Readers who can't get enough of lovable serial killer Serge A. Storms can rejoice. He's back in Electric Barracuda--the latest outrageous romp through the Sunshine State by Tim Dorsey, master of the zany crime thriller. This time Serge is a fugitive running from the police, and murder and mayhem have never been more over-the-top hilarious. Tim Dorsey's Electric Barracuda is not to be missed. The Miami Herald put it best: "Nobody, but nobody, writes like this guy."

Praise for this book

"Dorsey exhausts and delights the reader on this high speed tour with laugh-out-loud road markers every ten miles or so. You'll particularly enjoy Serge's Florida rap and 1929 Capone flashbacks....Hop aboard a '69 electric blue Barracuda and burn some rubber in the gator-coated Everglades. Electric Barracuda is just what the psychiatrist ordered to get you through these winter blues." - Madison County Herald
"Wild." - Sarasota Herald-Tribune
"Hilarious and history-laced....a blast." - Orlando Sentinel
"What better place than South Florida's lushly overgrown, gator-packed wilderness...for a fugitive to hide out? And who better to lead a tour through Snook Haven, Gator Hook, the Loop Road (Al Capone's favorite hideout) and Cabbage Key than perennial fugitive Serge....Serge fans can revel in his increasingly arcane knowledge of Southern Florida lore as well as the cat-and-mouse thrills in Dorsey's lucky 13th." - Kirkus Reviews
"Light-hearted." - Kansas City Star
"Part thriller, part comedy, part travelogue and all insanity...Florida as we have never seen it before." - Florida Times-Union
