Reviews"Vulgar, violent, and gaudier than sunsets on the Keys, Dorsey's roadshow is some fun". -- THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW, "Fiercely energetic, outrageously funny...imagine Hunter S. Thompson sharing a byline with Groucho Marx."--"Tampa Tribune"A violent, funny, hyperkinetic novel...where the bizarre is downright commonplace."--"Atlanta Journal-Constitution"A red-line, juking, jiving, manic, tequila-laced, triple-espresso ride through the flipped-out, ultra-scuzzy, bullet-between-the-eyes state of Florida...Wow, what a ride."--James W. Hall"Vulgar, violent, and gaudier than sunsets on the Keys, Dorsey's roadshow is some fun."--"The New York Times Book Review"Impossible as it sounds, Dorsey has muscled in on the big guns' territory and ripped the place upside down and inside out. Jittery, bizarre and utterly charming..."Roadkill" reads like Quentin Tarantino wrote it on a rum-and-speedball binge after baking too long in the ferocious August sun. Except Tarantino's characters are a bit tame in comparison to some of Dorsey's mangy minions."-- "Miami Herald""If the pen is mightier than the sword, Carl Hiassen writes with an x-acto knife, and Tim Dorsey writes with a chainsaw."-- Tom Tolworthy, President of B&N Superstores"Dorsey's delightful novel belongs in the hands of anyone who likes the mix of Florida setting and black humor in the works of Leonard, Carl Hiassen, and Laurence Shames."-- "Booklist""As entertainment, this rollicking, over-the-top novel is a blast."-- "Publishers Weekly"

Serge wants the suitcase. Sharon wants the suitcase. Coleman wants more drugs . . . and the suitcase. In the meantime, there's murder by gun, Space Shuttle, Barbie doll, and Levi's 501s.
