Naked Came the Manatee
by Elmore Leonard and Dave Barry and Carl Hiaasen and James W. Hall and Edna Buchanan and Les Standiford and Paul Levine and Brian Antoni and Tananarive Due and John Dufresne and Vicki Hendricks and Carolina Hospital and Evelyn Mayerson
In South Florida, everyone wants to get a head. But not just any head. A very famous human head--severed and snugged away in a cryonic container. A head that could spark a revolution and change the course of history.Everybody wants a piece of the noggin: rotund gangster Big Joey G., a 102-year-old environmentalist, hard-boiled Miami reporter Britt Montero, lawyer Jake Lassiter, and a would-be dictator in exile--with ex-president Jimmy Carter and a lovable manatee named Booger thrown in for good measure.With bodies piling up it's anybody's guess what will happen from one chapter to the next, as an all-star line-up of Florida's finest writers take turns at taking this outrageously original novel to the limit--and beyond.
