Description

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.

  • Winslow is a Winner
Format: Mass Market Paperback
A long walk up the down water slide is a must read, like all the Winslow books. Neal Carey novels are a joy to read and experience. If you have not read the series I recommend you start now.

  • Laugh out loud funny
Format: Mass Market Paperback
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. ... show more
