Bottom feeders beware: the Sunshine State’s favourite psychotic killer and lovable Floridaphile Serge Storms has found a new calling as a legal eagle, and he’s going to make a killing as a crusading attorney – and star as a dashing lawyer on the big screen while he’s at it.

One of Serge’s old flames, young lawyer Brook Campanella, is ruthless at taking down the greedy banksters kicking people out of their homes. The opposition is determined to shut her down and they’ll go to extreme lengths to do it.

Luckily for her, Serge has been hired to do some investigative legwork on the case. There’s nothing he likes better than saving a damsel in distress, especially when it means kicking a bunch of shyster butt. The mayhem comes to a hilarious head at the Key West courthouse, at the height of the island’s raucous Fantasy Fest street carnival, and no one, including Serge, will ever be the same. 

Take the plunge and swim with the sharks in Tim Dorsey’s slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

Sweet-natured Emily Seeton, retired art teacher and nowadays invaluable artist-aide to Scotland Yard, always tries to keep an open mind. But really, her feelings about the flamboyant Antony Scarlett, ‘the modern Rubens’ whose chosen medium is chocolate, and who is bullying her to sell her beloved cottage so he can fill it with the confection and knock it down, are anything but warm.

Yet Antony persists, and while infesting Plummergen he encounters lovely redheaded Tina Holloway, his rejected muse, here recovering from his ungallant treatment. Tina is proving a talented artist herself. Her drawings of the village, combined with Miss Seeton’s mysterious sketches, help local police Superintendent Brinton to uncover how elderly residents fall victim to a gang of heartless criminals . . .

Serene amidst every kind of skullduggery, this eccentric English spinster steps in where Scotland Yard stumbles, armed with nothing more than her sketchpad and umbrella!

Inspired by a wildly successful screening of Henry V, Plummergen village school decides on a trip to ‘the vasty fields of France’. The children are to visit the historic chateau of the Comte de Balivernes, and former art teacher Miss Emily Seeton is delighted to be asked to accompany them.

All goes so well that the charming Comte (definitely smitten by Miss S) and his daughter Louise are invited back to Plummergen – where Lord and Lady Colveden’s son Nigel is even more smitten with the lovely Louise.

But while l’amour blossoms, there’s also murder and mayhem to be reckoned with, and the Grand Bulldozer Race between six Kentish teams proves a more explosive finale than anyone anticipates . . .

Out of the mist-enshrouded sea a wooden raft drifts slowly into shore on Hong Bay beach. It carries no sail or rudder, just a selection of miscellaneous objects: a man’s skeleton with its ankles roped together, a dead fish, a mound of sweet potatoes, a set of false teeth and a ten-inch length of blue galvanised iron drainpipe.

The morgue give their verdict: murder, committed twenty years before.

Detective Chief Inspector Harry Feiffer of the Yellowthread Street police station is called in to investigate. The false teeth quickly identify the victim. But who killed him, buried him, and then dug him up again twenty years later only to set him adrift on a raft?

Another intriguing, action-packed mystery starring the boys from Yellowthread Street.

Batman is throwing up in one cell, while the Green Slime keeps escaping from another. Constable Yan is locked in combat with the Incredible Hulk – or is it Wonder Woman? Yes, the Sci Fi and Horror Movie convention has come to Hong Kong and an awful lot (literally) of the aliens have landed in the Hong Bay nick. It’s the usual chaos, with added Martians.

But then a Spaceman with a terrifying flame gun appears – there’s something in the Empress of India hotel he wants, and DCI Feiffer and team had better not stand in his way. Not unless they want to end up toast.

In William Marshall’s classic series, the characterful cops of Yellowthread Street wage everlasting war against violent crime in the back alleys of old Hong Kong – often tragic and always surreally comic.

The Republicans’ “golden boy” – and a loyal, unquestioning tool of the powerful special interests  – handsome, unthreatening, Florida governor-by-default Marlon Conrad seems a virtual shoo-in for re-election. That is, until he undergoes a radical personality shift during a bloody military action in the Balkans.

Now it’s just three weeks before the election and Marlon is suddenly talking about “issues” and “reform” as he crosses the length and breadth of his home state with an amnesiac speechwriter and a chief of staff who turns catatonic in the presence of minorities. The governor’s new-found conscience might well cost him the election, though. And it appears that pretty much everybody from Tallahassee to Miami Beach is trying to kill him…

Welcome to Tim Dorsey’s slice of America – where nobody gets out unscathed and untanned!

Ensconced in a lovely tropical villa on idyllic Triggerfish Lane, Jim Davenport anticipates the good life to come. But this isn’t living – it’s Florida and the neighbourhood is not quite what it seems. It’s got overly aggressive Little League parents, drug-free Rastafarians, homicidal hookers, unnatural sex and casual violence.

Oh, yes, and there’s a psychopathic serial killer-cum-Sunshine-State folklorist named Serge A. Storms living directly across the street. So it’s only a matter of time before Jim up and actually kills somebody . . .

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