Book Overview
Neal Carey has to keep the mob, the FBI, and a major television personality from killing his newest client - but he's tempted to do the job himself. Sometime student and ever-reluctant detective Neal Carey would rather be finishing a dull doctoral thesis than staring down the nose of a loaded gun - but his new assignment doesn't sound dangerous. All he's got to do is pull off the ultimate makeover: turn Polly Paget - a gum-chewing, foul-mouthed, big-haried broad - into a perfect lady in time to testify in a rape case against Jack Landis, head of the Family Cable Network and America's most beloved family man. But Polly isn't cooperating,and everyone - including a former FBI agent, and an obsessive-compulsive hitman, the Mafia, a porn prince, and a slew of tabloid reporters - is on her trail turning Neal's "simple" assignment into a deadly game of duck-duck-goose. In a hellish and hilarious escapade that takes him from the deserts of Nevada to the bright lights of Las Vegas, and finally to a hair-raising climax in a shoddily built amusment park, Neal tries to escape the mob's big guns while taking a slippery walk up the world's biggest water slide.

Laugh out loud funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I didn't want to quit reading because it made me laugh out loud, a lot and I had to find out what happened. The plots, counter plots, and sub-plots wove a spider web across the U.S. from New York to the Nevada boondocks to San Antonio's River Walk to New Orleans and back to Las Vegas. The only thing I was sure of from the beginning was the Mob's most fearsome hitman had met his match in Polly, Candy, and Karen and was doomed to go down hard.
