Summary
Summary
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. "Close on the hyperactive heels of last year's Florida Roadkill, Tampa writer Tim Dorsey has unleashed an equally blistering sequel."-Florida TodayEditorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Another raucous roadshow in the spirit of Florida Roadkill.”
—New York Times Book 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
“Zany...[A] hilarious, violent farce...Dorsey places himself in the ranks of Laurence Shames and Carl Hiaasen...A delightfully giddy ride it is, ending with the promise of more craziness to come.” —Publishers Weekly
“Explosive...Fans of Florida Roadkill will certainly want this book.”
—Library Journal
“Hilarious...Dorsey’s prose scampers at a rate just this side of manic...Fans of the fast read, you have met your match...As for the rest of you, just don’t wonder why everyone else is laughing.” —Tampa Tribune
“Witty.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A newer, nuttier individual is introduced on practically every page...It’s a sweet relief to discover that Dorsey can keep up with himself. Heaven knows nobody else can...With writers as wild and wonderful as Tim Dorsey to represent us [Floridians], even hurricane season doesn’t seem so bad.” —Orlando Sentinel
“Dorsey imbues Hammerhead Ranch Motel with the same wry humor, outlandish characters, and raw-edged situations that were the driving force of his 1999 debut novel, Florida Roadkill.”
—Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
“Very funny stuff...Dorsey exhibits both a prodigious talent for dialogue and a delightful sense of the absurd.” —St. Petersburg Times
“Scathingly funny...An updated verson 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
“A wild, wacky motel worth checking into.” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“An astonishingly entertaining book.” —Barnes & Noble, editorial review
