No Sunscreen for the Dead

by Tim Dorsey

William Morrow

Serge and his perpetually stoned sidekick Coleman are back on the road, ready to hit the next stop on their list of obscure and wacky points of interest in the Sunshine State. This time, Serge's interest is drawn to one of the largest retirement villages in the world—also known as the site of an infamous sex scandal between a retiree and her younger beau that rocked the community. What starts out as an innocent quest to observe elders in their natural habitats, sample the local cuisine, and scope out a condo to live out the rest of their golden years, soon becomes a Robin Hood-like crusade to recover the funds of swindled residents. After all, our seniors should be revered and respected—they've heroically fought in wars, garnered priceless wisdom, and they have the best first-hand accounts of the kind of bizarre Floridian occurrences that Serge revels in. But as the residents rally for Serge to seek justice on their behalf, two detectives are hot on the heels of Serge and Coleman's murderous trail.

In this epic adventure that jumps between present day and the tumultuous times of the Vietnam war, mystery fans are in for a witty and deliciously violent delight from the twisted imagination of bestselling author Tim Dorsey.

Praise for No Sunscreen for the Dead:

"Dorsey's novels are unfailingly entertaining...his dialogue is delightfully offbeat; and Serge is,
hands down, the most smoothly charming, irrepressibly goofy, joyfully out-of-his-mind series
lead in contemporary mystery fiction...Don't miss this one."— Booklist

"Another successful blend of the funny and the fiendish."— Publisher's Weekly, starred review

"A rollicking road trip we'd love to sign up for."— New York Times Book Review

"All Dorsey mayhem is vintage Dorsey mayhem, but Florida's retirement scene
provides the perfect backdrop for this latest round of lunacy."— Kirkus
