After a catastrophic hurricane unleashes placid Lake Okeechobee, destroying and flooding much of South Florida, the government decides not to rebuild decimated small towns and businesses, but simply expand Everglades National Park and capitalize on environmental tourism. Many state legislators object strongly, going as far as quietly hiring great white hunters to go into the newly formed forests and wetlands to kill off endangered species, thus weakening preservation arguments and efforts. Jane Kowechobe, an environmental consultant whose MS thesis inspired the expansion plans, and her fiancé Sean McDuff, are over their heads in evidence that favors protection of the wilderness. Some very tall and hairy residents live several miles up the remote Cypress River from the couple's home, a secret that Sean and Jane must protect at all cost. There are also Ivory-billed woodpeckers and red wolves. Then there is Sean's sci-fi author friend, Jules Karlov, whose controversial rants on world overpopulation and old time religion require that they keep his fishing trip visits there quiet. Nevermind that he won the Nobel Prize last year. Can it be that perhaps the best solution to most of the quandaries is a large chainsaw?

Sean McDuff, a middle-aged English professor at a small liberal arts college near the Everglades in south Florida, is depressed, disgusted, and dying. Two years ago his loving wife passed away suddenly. His profession is infested with administrators trying to impose a business model operating system on a college culture he still somewhat enjoys. And he has been recently diagnosed with a terminal disease, and given about a year to live. What to do? His festering soul just too far gone, Sean buys a powerful car bomb from an old Army Reserves acquaintance and plots a suicide mission to blow up his school's administration building during a board of trustees meeting on St. Patrick's Day. Riddled with darkly comic episodes, dashes of radical environmentalism, monsters real or perhaps imagined, and outrageous truths, The Culprit is a quirky testimony to the enduring potentials of life, love, and the pursuit of sanity.

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
