Pelican Post a whacky weird Florida Gumbo mystery

In the weirdest corner of Florida, the mail doesn't just get lost. It gets delivered by a pelican with a business plan.

For houseboat-dwelling, coffee-addicted Gumbo Malone, life on the Gulf Coast is predictably unpredictable. But he never predicted his new mail carrier would have an eight-foot wingspan and expect a tip in anchovies. When a massive pelican with a scarred beak drops a waterproof package full of cash on his deck, it’s just the start of the sun-drenched chaos in the quirky town of Cedar Key.

Soon, the whole town is caught in the flight path of the “Pelican Post.” Stolen jewelry reappears after being professionally polished, vital medications are dropped on porches, and feuding neighbors start receiving misdirected love letters. While the official mailman is losing his mind, Gumbo follows the feathers and uncovers an operation more bizarre than he could ever imagine: a retired postal worker’s obsessive quest to create a “better” mail service… using a highly-trained, fish-fueled flock.

But when a ruthless rival trainer arrives with a squadron of attack seagulls, Cedar Key becomes the battleground for an all-out bird gang war. With packages being delivered to dolphins, pizza coupons raining down on manatees, and the federal government threatening to ground the entire operation, Gumbo must mediate between a flock of striking pelicans, a mad genius, and the law before the whole town flies completely off the rails.

Fans of Carl Hiaasen’s razor-sharp satire, Tim Dorsey’s manic Florida romps, and Elmore Leonard’s masterful dialogue will feel right at home in this fast-paced, hilarious, and utterly original comedy mystery.
