Books like Hurricane Punch by Tim Dorsey
Set amid Florida’s characteristic summer storms, "Hurricane Punch" follows the idiosyncratic San Francisco reporter Serge Storms as he confronts a brutal serial killer unsettling the peninsula. With bodies piling up faster than hurricane forecasts, Serge’s moral compass is tested, and he vows to stop the killings. Meanwhile, Agent Mahoney, a seasoned criminal profiler recently released from a psychiatric facility after obsessively studying Storms, doubts there is more than one killer—believing the case is a split personality examination. The clash of bungling investigators, weather chaos, and Storms’ comically dangerous enthusiasm sets the stage for an absurd yet suspenseful hunt that asks: What would Serge do?
