Shark Skin Suite

Shark Skin Suite by Tim Dorsey, 322 pages

Cover image for The Sunshine State's favorite  killer and Florida history fanatic, Serge Storms, has found a new calling or at least a new temporary obsession. Serge wants to become a lawyer. Given the fact that he is a wanted criminal going to an actual law school and getting a degree is out of the question, Serge becomes a freelance "fixer" whose job is to handle some of the more legally dubious problems that come with trials and lawyers. Meanwhile thanks to her determination and expertise Brook Campanella is offered a position at a prestigious law firm and offered whats supposed to be an easy win as her first case. Since this is a Tim Dorsey novel nothing is exactly as it seems as lawyers go missing, banks are foreclosed on, and new evidence is constantly being stolen to be introduced in typical Hollywood fashion.

Another good Tim Dorsey novel with all of the twists and craziness that I've come to expect from his work. The only thing that I felt this book was lacking compared to previous books was the creative deaths and high body count, although given the beginning that is easily excused.
