Hammerhead Ranch Motel

by Tim Dorsey

Hammerhead Ranch Motel Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

There's a different schemer or slimeball behind every door: cocaine duckpins who have survived only by the dumbest fortune, hard-luck gigolos desperate to score, undercover cops busting undercover cops who are running sting operations on undercover cops. And just down the row, local historian and spree killer Serge A. Storms — who has stopped keeping up with his meds — is still looking for a briefcase stuffed with five million dollars...and is now capable of wreaking more havoc than hurricane Rolando-berto, the big wind gathering force offshore, just waiting for the opportunity to blow everything straight to hell.

Pack up your bags and head south to sunny Florida. Leave your rational mind at home and come well armed. There's a room with your number on it at the Hammerhead Ranch Motel.

Review:

"Some of the most wacky villains and situations since Hiaasen stuck a plastic alligator down a stranger's throat and called it Tourist Season." Chicago Tribune

Review:

"Dorsey hit the ball out of the park with his debut novel, Florida Roadkill. Now he has encored with the equally wild, wicked and wonderful Hammerhead Ranch Motel." Boca Raton News

Review:

"Scathingly funny....An updated version of It's a Mad,Mad, Mad, Mad, World, told by an author who apparently learned his literary skills from Hunter S. Thompson." Rocky Mountain News
