TORPEDO JUICE by Tim Dorsey

Kinda a wild story that is set in the Florida Keys.  Serge is looking for his Mrs Right, he has a friend Coleman who is either drunk or high all the time.  The cops are looking for serial killers. 
It is a story that jumps back and forth and for me it was hard to keep my interest.  The end was surprising though
