When Elves Attack by Tim Dorsey


When Elves Attack:  A Joyous Christmas Greeting from the Criminal Nutbars of the Sunshine State by Tim Dorsey

It's Christmas time in Tampa, Florida.  Criminal mastermind and modern day Peter Pan, Serge Storm and his pot smoking sidekick Coleman are doing Christmas BIG this year.   Dressed in elf costumes and with help from their warranted lady friends City and Country and the G-Unit, a foursome of elderly escapees from a Bayshore convalescent center, they set out to end the war on Christmas.

Some of their escapades include flattening the mansion of a disgraced hedge fund manager so that the insurance could be used to pay back all the people he ripped off, poisoning a criminal who stole and scrapped memorial plaques from a VFW, beating up a mall cop for yelling at little kids, and decorating their rented South Tampa house with the biggest Christmas display ever!

This fast read is absolutely hilarious and was written by a former reporter for the Tampa Tribune.  I can't wait to read more of his shenanigans!  Just don't read it in public or your giggles will illicit oogles.
