First published 2023
Serge A. Storms steps out of his long COVID quarantine, vaccination card in hand and wanderlust burning bright. He rallies his condo neighbors for weekly shuttle van adventures across Florida's strangest corners. Their timing proves unfortunate. Down in Honduras, a CIA operation collapses spectacularly, leaving only one witness alive. The agency dispatches a black ops contractor to silence him, but the witness escapes to Miami with forged documents. The CIA pursuit drives him south toward the Florida Keys, straight into the path of Serge's traveling circus. When Florida's most enthusiastic serial killer crosses paths with international espionage, the collision promises chaos. Serge finds himself at the center of a deadly game he never signed up for, where his peculiar talents for mayhem might be exactly what survival demands.
