The Riptide Ultra-Guide Tim Dorsey

Now that they have some unexpected free time, freshly unemployed Wisconsinites Patrick and Barbara McDougal are going to treat themselves to a modest vacation in sunny Florida. Sitting poolside at a pretty motel, theyre going to drown their sorrows in those fruity umbrella drinks. But the motel they arrive at isnt quite the pastel paradise they saw on the web. Refused a refund and tight on money, they have no choice but to stay. Being Midwesterns, theyll make the best of a bad situation. Except whenbad goes to worse. Theyre robbed and everything is gone, including the ID they need to get on a plane and go back home. Plus, theyre so broke they cant even take a bus. Too bad the police are no help. Theyre more intimidating than the criminals. Stranded and alone, Pat and Barb need someone to rescue them. Someone to show them a bright spot. Someone to make the evildoers darkening the good name of the Sunshine state pay. Someone who has the courage, the knowledge, and the all-out crazy to make these nice Midwestern tourists believe in Florida again. That someone is who else? Serge Storms. Welcome to Paradise!
