A story of suspense written serially by thirteen of Florida’s most talented writers–including Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen, and Elmore Leonard–features a riot in Coconut Grove, an appearance by Fidel Castro, and other strange happenings.
In South Florida, everyone wants to get ahead. 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 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.
