Hammerhead Ranch Motel by Tim Dorsey
The sequel to the remarkable Florida Roadkill an extraordinarily original novel from a new young American author a funny, stylish, irreverent and shocking thriller.‘This takes the Hiaasen formula and adds Tarantino-laced amphetamine to the mix; the ensuing mayhem is raucous, body-strewn and both sinister and hilarious’ Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian
‘If you though psychopathic Serge had slaughtered enough poor sods in Dorsey’s first novel, Florida Roadkill, think again. Still in search of the missing $5M drugs money, he’s ruthless, violent and confusingly endearing. With his soulmates, drug runner Zargoza and dopehead Lenny, he’s terrorising Tampa, home to reefers, revolvers and rock’n’roll – not to mention Toto the dancing weather dog and a massive hurricane. A rollicking read that makes Carl Hiaasen’s stuff look like something by Barbara Cartland.’ Daily Mirror
‘Now here’s a rip-roaring, rollicking read and a suitable follow-up to this highly acclaimed author's sparkling debut Florida Roadkill. Comedy doesn't get much blacker. A bullet-riddled rollercoaster ride that will have you alternating between being sick with laughter and just being sick.’ Dublin Evening Herald
Tim Dorsey grew up in Riviera Beach on Florida’s southeast coast, and for several years has worked as a journalist on the night desk of the Tampa Tribune, where his duties include sorting through endless reports of brutal and strange crimes. Humour is a natural defence reaction to editing this parade of dysfunction, violence and stupidity, and it has led to a surreal, Florida-noir way of looking at things that became first Florida Roadkill and now Hammerhead Ranch Motel.
‘What a tour guide Tim Dorsey is.
This guy is an insane comic angel with uranium for brains and fifty heartbeats a second. Wow, what a ride.’ JAMES HALL
