Serge Storms has talked his way into the spy business. The Florida serial killer now works as a secret agent in Miami, taking orders from the president of a banana republic. His new career puts him squarely in the crosshairs of Homeland Security, who want to shut him down. Serge navigates this deadly game with his usual blend of violence and twisted logic. The agencies hunting him have no idea what they're dealing with. Serge turns espionage into his own brand of chaos, leaving a trail of bodies and mayhem across South Florida. His mission becomes a high-stakes cat and mouse game where the rules keep changing and survival depends on staying one step ahead of federal agents who underestimate his cunning.
