The Strange Files

Who is Mister Manners, the elusive vigilante marauding Florida? He's been gluing shopping carts to car roofs, hiding pythons in unsuspecting tourists' beds, and did he really try to kill a mob bagman by burying him in horse manure? Weird news reporter Alexander Strange is determined to discover the answer to that question. If he can keep from getting shot, survive a blustering hurricane, avoid toxic toads, fend off the Queen of Murder and Mayhem, and, oh yeah, not piss of Mister Manners, himself.

Alexander Strange has an unusual guardian angel -- she's the one who needs protection. Not enough that he's typing his fingers to the bone covering resurrected triceratops maurading in Miami or that he's on a quest to find a headless baby Jesus snatched from a Florida megachurch and golf resort. Now his shipboard mannequin is channeling a woman from the future. Her message: Fly immediately to Portugal, do not stop for Cuba Libres, and save your girlfriend's life or your guardian angel will also cease to exist.
