Nuclear Jellyfish
by Tim Dorsey
“Dorsey’s brilliantly, profanely funny 11th novel…zips along like P.G.

Storms. The bestselling author of Atomic Lobster, Triggerfish Twist, and Florida Roadkill, Dorsey can match Carl Hiaasen punch-for-punch when it comes to fictionally depicting Sunshine State madness—and he’s taken his rightful place alongside Christopher Moore in the pantheon of top American humorists.
