''The Stingray Shuffle'' is Tim Dorsey's fifth novel, published in 2003. ==Plot summary== Sales of ''The Stingray Shuffle'', a good novel by good novelist Ralph Krunkleton, have soared recently. The book's publishers, not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, mount a publicity blitz culminating in a train journey with the author from New York to Miami. What they do not realize is that no one is reading the book; dealers are using a bookstore as a front, hollowing out copies of ''Shuffle'' to hide drugs. Meanwhile, Serge A. Storms and pothead pal Lenny Lipowicz resume their pursuit of $5 million worth of insurance fraud payout. Thrown into the mix are Johnny Vegas the accidental virgin, Paul the passive-aggressive private eye, Ernest Hemingway lookalike Jethro Maddox, and the world's least competent drug cartel. Most of these characters find their way onto the Stingray Shuffle, the temporarily rechristened train to Miami. ''The Stingray Shuffle'' ties up a three-book plot arc that began with ''Florida Roadkill'', continued with ''Hammerhead Ranch Motel'', and was then shelved for two years while Dorsey wrote the only slightly relative ''Triggerfish Twist'' and ''Orange Crush''. It is ultimately revealed that Serge's plan for the money is to buy a trip into space (and a monogrammed spacesuit) from the Russians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Stingray Shuffle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
