Naked Came the Florida Man

A Novel

By: Tim Dorsey

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

The ""compulsively irreverent and shockingly funny"" (Boston Globe) Tim Dorsey returns with an insanely entertaining tale in which the inimitable Serge A. Storms sees dead people and investigates a creepy urban myth that may be all too real.

Though another devastating hurricane is raking Florida, its awesome power can’t stop the Sunshine State’s most loyal son, Serge A. Storms, from his latest scenic road trip: a cemetery tour. With his best bro Colman riding shotgun, Serge hits the highway in his ’69 gold Plymouth Satellite, putting pedal to the metal on a grand tour of the past. Beginning in Key West, the sunshine boys’ odyssey includes a forgotten mass grave in Palm Beach county holding the remains of African Americans killed by the Great Hurricane of 1928, and the resting place of one world-famous television dolphin (RIP Flipper) from the 1960s.

But one deadland—a haunted old sugar field—holds more than just the bones of those who’ve passed. For years, local children have whispered about a boogeyman hiding among the stalks. Could it be the same maniac known as Naked Florida man who’s been raising hell all over the place?

There are few things Serge loves more than solving a good mystery and bestowing justice on miscreants who sully his beloved home’s good name. With his partner bong boy, Florida’s psycho superhero will find the truth in this hilariously violent delight—packed with history, lore, and plenty of motel antics—from the insanely ingenious Tim Dorsey.

awesome and funny

it took me a while to get into this book but then the dry humor and the storyline sucked me in. what a ride, go Florida man.

or they might be into Amway!

I love the build up in Serge's tirades. He always makes a good point just before he delivers the u expected!;

Quirky and laugh out loud good.

This book is absolutely quirky. It’s hero is insane in a “chaotic good” way.
I’d say it’s an adventure of Patrick and spongebob...if spongebob had spent time in conspiracy theory chat rooms while doing more caffeine than a meth head could handle.

If you’re within driving distance of Florida, it’s travelogue nature is a Huge bonus!

Great twist and turns

What a pleasant surprise. Great twists and turns and Florida geographic references. I could relate...

Dorsey gets Florida!

This book series should be mandatory listening for anyone considering relocating to Florida.
Florida isn't the shiny, happy postcard crap that gets sent to Sheboygan on a postcard. The seedy underbelly is alive and well and part of what makes this state spectacular. The author is fully aware of this and uses his experience as a Tampa journalist for inspiration. Some of the capers are far-fetched; but in Florida, they're not out of the realm of possibility.
