Naked Came the Manatee is a novel like no other: a wickedly funny Florida suspense thriller, written serially by thirteen of the state's most talented writers.
Among them they have penned bestsellers and hit movies, created top-rated
television shows and won Pulitzer Prizes, but never has any of them tried anything like
this--and with such stunning results. In November 1995, a baker's dozen of Florida's finest writers began a serial novel for The Miami Herald's Tropic magazine under the guidance of Tropic's editor Tom Shroder--one writer passing the completed chapters to the next--and with each chapter, the excitement grew. Florida was hooked on Naked Came the Manatee. And now it's for the rest of the world ...
A riot breaks out in Coconut Grove...A motorboat crashes in the bay, spilling its mystery cargo...A drowning man is rescued by a 102-year-old woman and a manatee...A shining steel canister reveals its grisly and shocking secret...All this is only the prologue to a raucously funny, intricately suspenseful story of intrigue, murder, double-cross, and even
love, a novel populated by an extraordinary cast of reporters, criminals, revolutionaries, voluptuaries, hitmen, policemen, the peripatetic former president of the United States, and
the Bearded One himself, Fidel Castro.
A delirious invention that is at once harrowing and hilarious, filled with pungent commentary and razor-sharp observations, this is grand entertainment. And that's the
Naked truth.
