First published 2019
Serge and Coleman cruise into one of the world's largest retirement communities, drawn by tales of a notorious sex scandal that shook the senior residents. Serge plans to study elderly Floridians in their element, taste retirement village food, and scout potential condos for his own golden years. But when he discovers that someone has been cheating the community's seniors out of their money, his tourist mission transforms into a vigilante operation. Serge believes these elders deserve respect after fighting wars and accumulating decades of strange Florida stories. As residents beg him to recover their stolen funds, two determined detectives close in on the murderous path Serge and Coleman have left behind. The story weaves between modern day Florida and the chaos of the Vietnam War era, delivering Tim Dorsey's signature blend of dark comedy and explosive violence.
