Gloriously unrepentant Florida serial killer Serge Storms is back--and he's finagled his way into becoming a secret agent in Miami--in another outrageous crime comedy from New York Times bestselling author, Tim Dorsey. In Pineapple Grenade, the incomparable Serge takes up spying for the president of a banana republic, and now Homeland Security wants to bring him down. It's always a wild ride when Dorsey's at the wheel, and with Pineapple Grenade he delivers his most explosively hilarious road trip to date.

Review:

"Up a notch ... Dorsey's 15th pits Serge against what may be the only folks as dysfunctional as he is: members of the international intelligence community."--Kirkus Reviews

"A blast... side-splitting satire."--Richmond Times-Dispatch

"Pineapple Grenade displays Dorsey's talents as a comedian, a Florida historian, a political and social commentator, and a well-seasoned writer."--Gainesville Times

"A rollicking ride"--All Good Things and More

"Dorsey fans clamor for Serge. Dexter just can't compete with this guy. For non-stop spy-jinks and neo-crusted cackles, head down to Miami for Tim Dorsey's explosive Pineapple Grenade."--Miami Herald

"Hilarious"--Oklahoma City Oklahoman

"Pineapple Grenade is a topsy-turvy, slap-happy romp through Florida."--Sun-Sentinel

"A "guy" book, a real "man's man" kind of novel. But kind of fun for the ladies to enjoy as well - they kind of give women an insight into the weird, wonderful way a man's mind works when the boys are let loose with their toys."--Ventura County Star

"A successful blend of high stakes thriller action a la Miami Vice with laid back beachcombing style."--Denver Examiner

Pineapple Grenade is a topsy-turvy, slap-happy romp through Florida. --Sun-Sentinel"
