Book Description:
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.

This is a serial novel, with each chapter written by a different author - 13 in all. Very interesting!

Quirky story but not as good as Naked Came the Phoenix.
1 member(s) found this review helpful.
This book is a collaboration by such people as: Dave Berry, Edna Buchanan, Paul Levine, John Dufresne and many more. Each person wrote a chapter in this novel. Highly suspensuful, wickedly funny and an all around good read.
