Orange Crush Summary

Orange Crush by Tim Dorsey

Death by taxidermy, sky-diving Hemingway lookalikes, Toto the Dancing Weather Dog and killer grannies - it's just another day in Tim Dorsey's Florida. Inspired by years spent reporting on stranger-than-fiction crimes for the Tampa Tribune, Dorsey burst onto the scene with his much-acclaimed novels Florida Roadkill and Hammerhead Ranch Motel, featuring Serge Storms, the homicidal misift with the encyclopedic knowledge of the Sunshine State. Now, in Orange Crush, Tim Dorsey turns his attention to senseless violence on the campaign trail...For Republican Marlon Conrad, the Florida governorship is a done deal - until the day he and his team inexplicably embark on a whirlwind election tour in a bright orange camper van. But his ratings soar, and soon the press and his shell-shocked opponents set off in hot pursuit - closely followed by the police. For behind this unscheduled roadtrip lies a mysterious trail of mayhem and murder. And it bears all the hallmarks of Florida's most wanted - and most lovable - homicidal maniac.

Orange Crush Reviews

'This one rocks. Like Carl Hiaasen on acid, Elmore Leonard on speedballs, this doesn't let go from the first to the last page. I loved it.' Independent on Sunday 'Over-the-top, absurd and hilarious all the right ingredients are present in this manic kaleidoscope of bizarre mayhem. Supremely entertaining.' Time Out 'Raucous, body-strewn and both sinister and hilarious.' Guardian 'Utterly charming, it reads as if Quentin Tarantino wrote it after baking too long in the sun.' Miami Herald 'Fiercely energetic, outrageously funny . . . imagine Hunter S. Thompson sharing a byline with Groucho Marx.' Tampa Tribune

About Tim Dorsey

Tim Dorsey grew up in Riviera Beach on Florida's southeast coast, and for several years worked as a journalist on the night desk of the Tampa Tribune, where his duties included sorting through endless reports of brutal and strange crimes. Humour is a natural defence reaction to editing this parade of dysfunction, violence and stupidity, and it led to a surreal, Florida-noir way of looking at things that became first Florida Roadkill, then Hammerhead Ranch Motel and now Orange Crush.
