Triggerfish Twist

Présentation de l'éditeur The madness lying beneath the surface of life in Florida today is revealed in this manic tale of murder and mayhem from the acclaimed author of Orange Crush, Hammerhead Ranch Motel and Florida Roadkill -- comic crime at its finest. Triggerfish Lane, Tampa. An idyllic Florida neighbourhood...at least on the surface. When mild-mannered family man Jim Davenport moves in, he thinks his new tropical villa home is a slice of heaven. Then he meets the neighbours, and things rapidly get out of hand. Accidentally killing a notorious bank robber and losing his job is bad enough. But then Serge Storms -- the lovable homicidal maniac with an encyclopedic knowledge of Florida folklore -- decides to appoint himself lucky Jim's friend and protector, and he begins to realise that he is truly in the Neighbourhood from Hell. Biographie de l'auteur Tim Dorsey grew up in Riviera Beach on Florida's southeast coast, and for several years worked as a journalist on the night desk of the Tampa Tribune, where his duties included 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 led to a surreal, Florida-noir way of looking at things that found its outlet in his own highly original style of fiction.
