The Big Bamboo

The Big Bamboo by Tim Dorsey, 322 pages

Cover image for Serge has decided it is time to resurrect his obsession with movies especially those featuring his home state. Mostly though he just wants to know why more films aren't shot there and why "Florida" scenes are filmed in California? When his grandfather leaves him a cryptic message that he needs to go to L.A. to uncover a family secret, Serge views it as fate and him and his companion fly across the country to straighten things out once and for all. Of course Serge's mission is hopelessly sidetracked with detours and other intrigue such as the kidnapping of the female lead of what is becoming the most expensive and behind schedule flop in Hollywood history, celebrity murder investigations, and the Japanese and Alabama mafias.

This eight Serge Storms novel easily continues Dorsey's over the top series with plenty of interesting characters and a plot that will leave the reader guessing until the very end.
