- Naked Came the Manatee is a mystery thriller parody novel published in 1996. It is composed of thirteen chapters, each written by a different Miami-area writer. It was originally published as a serial in the Miami Herald's Tropic magazine, one chapter per issue, and later published as a single novel. Its title is a reference to the literary hoax Naked Came the Stranger. The book was written during one of Hiassen's classic boat parties off the coast of Key Largo. Hiassen, Buchanan, and Elmore Leonard discussed the idea of working on a novel together in past years, but it was the boat party that tied the knot. The plot involves three crime-fighting characters from three of the writers' previous, non-parody, mystery/thriller works coming together to help an elderly environmentalist and her granddaughter investigate the mystery behind a package delivered by a precocious Miami-area manatee named Booger. John Dufresne opens his chapter in a spoof on Moby-Dick, with the line "Call me Booger... " All proceeds from the novel were donated to charity. The writers of the different chapters are: Dave Barry Les Standiford Paul Levine Edna Buchanan James W. Hall Carolina Hospital Evelyn Mayerson Tananarive Due Brian Antoni Vicki Hendricks John Dufresne Elmore Leonard Carl Hiaasen
