NEW ARRIVALS

ADULT FICTION

"Electric Barracuda" by Tim Dorsey - "In Dorsey’s thirteenth Serge Storms novel, the manic spree-killer and Florida native son is off his meds again and building a website that encourages tourists to undertake “fugitive” vacations. ..Once again, it’s a Smokey and the Bandit chase story, fueled by dangerous drugs; imaginative dispatchings of arrogant Wall Street plutocrats; beautiful, dangerous women; and Agent Mahoney, whose decade-long pursuit of Serge has reduced him to speaking in the hilarious, fractured argot of a pulp fiction shamus. It’s Dorsey’s standard mash-up, bizarre and often very funny. His wonderful tour of Florida’s boltholes might make them prime-tourist destinations, but fortunately, they are very difficult to reach." --Thomas Gaughan--Booklist
