You have heard of The Great American Novel; maybe even read one. Now meet The Great Floridian Novel. Much in the gonzo tenor of McKee's The Culprit, this tale continues the adventures of two fated lovers-Sean and Jane-as they confront and confound the system of checks and imbalances that is today's Sunshine State: ancient Calusa artifacts, a murderous poacher, radical environmentalism, unusual animals, and a horrific hurricane. A species of Florida gothic, with a dash of magic realism, The Trickster also dares to be, against all odds, a Romance. "McKee's Trickster is definitely not from concentrate. It captures every drop of the punishing yet beautiful peninsula that is Florida, and it rolls off the page with a lyrical rhythm that could only come from someone with a knowledge of the state's wild essence in his marrow." -- Tim Dorsey New York Times bestselling author of Florida Roadkill, Tiger Shrimp Tango, and many more
