No Sunscreen for the Dead

Serge A. Storms, a Florida history buff and killer, is back on the road with his friend Coleman. They keep a list of obscure and odd Florida attractions. The next stop is one of the largest retirement villages in the world, known for a sex scandal between a retiree and her younger lover.

Serge arrives with a harmless plan: watch the older residents in their natural habitat, try the local food, and look at condos for his own retirement. The plan does not last. Residents have been swindled out of their money, and Serge decides to get it back for them.

He has firm views on the elderly. In his eyes they deserve respect, having fought in wars and gathered hard-won wisdom. They also remember strange Florida events that only Serge cares about. As residents rally behind his idea of justice, the methods turn murderous.

Two detectives follow the trail of bodies behind Serge and Coleman. The narrative also cuts between the present day and the Vietnam War years. This is a crime comedy with a zany, irreverent tone and a high level of violence, part of the Serge Storms run of Florida capers.
