Tim Dorsey, The Pope of Palm Beach

“The sun was going down behind the Big Burger when the alligator came flying in the drive-in window.”

How’s that for an opening line?

And it gets better.  (A feat worthy of great admiration, given that it’s his 22nd novel.)

“Do you have any idea who I am?”
“Yes, why?” Said Serge.  “Forgot your own name?” p36

“Several years ago the young man had been a wrestler in high school, and now he was the guy who talked about having wrestled in high school.”  p120

Oh, and the bit about ‘God helps those who help themselves’ on p294…
