Best Selling Author Comes to Town in March

New York Times bestselling author, Tim Dorsey, is back with his gloriously unrepentant Florida serial killer Serge Storms in SHARK SKIN SUITE: A Novel (William Morrow Hardcover; On-sale:1/28/2014; $26.99). In this latest laugh-riot thriller, Serge realizes—after bingeing on legal movies set in his beloved state of Florida—that his life-long calling is to become a lawyer. Nevermind law school or a degree!

So he sets off, nibbling around the edges of the profession as a freelance fixer for law firms, becoming a wildcat paralegal and visiting scenes where such Florida classics as Body Heat, Cool Hand Luke, and Absence of Malice were filmed.

Meanwhile, Brook Campanella, a flame from the past, is now an up-and-coming young lawyer. When she ultimately lands a major class-action lawsuit, she performs far better than the opposition ever expected. But she doesn’t anticipate the extreme lengths they’ll go to shut her down for good. Luckily for her, Serge has been hired to do some investigative legwork on the case, and there’s nothing he likes better than saving a damsel in distress…other than vigilante justice, of course.

Will he still have time for a cocktail before everything comes to a head at the island’s raucous Fantasy Fest street carnival? It’s always a wild ride when Dorsey’s at the wheel, and with SHARK SKIN SUITE he delivers his most explosively hilarious road trip to date—complete with surprising Floridian movie trivia to boot!
