No one worships the Sunshine State as much as NS Serge. Perpetually hunting Floridian arcana and lore, he and his permanently baked sidekick, Cole- man, are on the road again. This time they're on a frenzied literary pilgrimage that leads them back to Riviera Beach, the cozy seaside town where the boys spent their formative years. Growing up, Serge was enthralled by the legend of Riviera Beach, aka Darby Pope, a welder at the port who surfed the local waves long before the hot spots were hot. A god on the water, the big- hearted surfer was a friend to everyone-younger surfers, cops, politicians, wealthy businessmen and ordinary Joes-a generosity of spirit that earned him the admiration of all. Meanwhile, a much murk- ier legend made the rounds of the schoolyards of Serge's youth that of the crazy hermit living in a makeshift jungle compound farther up the mysteri- ous Loxahatchee River than anyone dared to ven- ture. Then Serge moved away. But he never forgot. Now he's back in town, with those legends loom- ing larger than ever in the rearview mirror of his memory. As his literary odyssey moves north from Key West, closer and closer to his old stomping grounds, Serge digs into the past as only Serge can. Along the way, he unintentionally disturbs some long-forgotten ground, attracting the attention of a cast of villains that only Florida could produce. As the body count grows, so does the list of questions. Book is in great condition - former library book.
