Synopsis
From the author of What's a Girl Gotta Do? comes the hilarious new adventure of Robin Hudson.
On paper at least, things couldn't be better for Robin Hudson, the sassy, young Rita Hayworth-looking, sexy; and opinionated tabloid TV reporter for All News Network. Suddenly successful, she gets to boss other people around in her job, and she has more men than she knows what to do with. Then a series of seemingly random encounters, and one strange dead guy, lead Robin into the secret world of men and onto the trail of a mysterious chemical known as Adam One. Before it's over, she'll have to brave a macho hunting expedition, fistlighting thugs, and a convention of drugged feminists. Meanwhile, men's social conditioning and women's own sexism don't escape Robin's sharp eye. The Last Manly Man is a comedy, a mystery; an unorthodox love letter to men, and as a bonus, offers some practical how-to advice on finding and han-dling success in a "man's world."

From Booklist
An outrageously wacky plot, bizarre characters, and Gen X dialogue take Hayter's latest Robin Hudson novel to a new level of kookiness. This time, Hudson, the sassy, smart-mouthed reporter for the All News Network, is heading up a special investigative report on the Man of the Future. But Robin's research leads her straight into a weird world populated by mad scientists, kidnapped bonobo chimps, strident feminists, dead guys, secret research labs, mysterious maps hidden in fedoras, deadly pheromones, and a plot to make all males into King Kong^-style he-men. Meanwhile, Robin has two boyfriends vying for her attention; she's discovered that someone is impersonating her; and Mrs. Rodriguez, her hated neighbor, is acting out with a shotgun! Along with plenty of belly laughs, Hayter's latest book adds a titillating mystery, plenty of homespun philosophy, and a hilarious look at how a not-so-average woman of the '90s keeps her head together. A fine comic mystery. Emily Melton
