Description

"The undisputed king of the comic crime novel."
--Providence Journal

"I guarantee Dorsey will never win the Nobel Prize for Literature--he's far too funny."
--Richmond Times-Dispatch

"If you've never read Dorsey, you need to start...You won't be disappointed."
--Miami Herald

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.

Critical Reviews

"An insane plot . . . Somehow it all manages to hold together . . . The book is loaded with Serge's wit and wisdom . . . if you couldn't stop laughing when Bugs Bunny shot Elmer Fudd in the face, this is the writer you've been looking for." - Associated Press on Electric Barracuda
"Pure gonzo humor!" - New York Times Book Review
"I guarantee Dorsey will never win the Nobel Prize for Literature--he's far too funny." - Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Bestseller Dorsey dishes up his Miami mayhem with a side order of mordant wit ... neither Dorsey's fast-paced prose nor his delight in skewering human foolishness has lost its mischievous sparkle." - Publishers Weekly
"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
"Hilarious" - Oklahoma City Oklahoman
"A successful blend of high stakes thriller action a la Miami Vice with laid back beachcombing style." - Denver Examiner
"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
"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
"Pineapple Grenade is a topsy-turvy, slap-happy romp through Florida." - Sun-Sentinel
"Bestseller Dorsey dishes up his Miami mayhem with a side order of mordant wit ... neither Dorsey's fast-paced prose nor his delight in skewering human foolishness has lost its mischievous sparkle." - Go386.com
"A rollicking ride" - All Good Things and More
"Pineapple Grenade displays Dorsey's talents as a comedian, a Florida historian, a political and social commentator, and a well-seasoned writer." - Gainesville Times
