Description
Impoverished college student Allison Kerry only thought her life was complicated. On a broiling August afternoon in Dallas, it's about to get much worse. Political blackmail leads to a political payoff gone terribly wrong and the money ends up in Allison's hands, but she has no idea where it came from or who lost it. When those who lost the money try to take it back, Allison starts to realize she's stumbled into something far worse than she imagined. To make it through, she'll have to run a gauntlet of corrupt politicians, hired thugs, a sociopathic dog-catcher, a foul- mouthed mob hit man and a pearly-toothed televangelist.
Armed with only a single ambiguous clue and the help of someone she isn't sure she can trust, Allison has many questions, few answers and far less time than she thinks to piece everything together.

Featured Reviews
Fast paced, suspenseful novel. A college student and a young musician take on crooked politicians, a mob hitman and a political fixer, to get medical care for a four year old child with a congenitally bad heart. Good character developement, kept me reading with the riveting action.
Thriller with a touch of humour. Our heroine is Alison, who is struggling to get through law school, working two jobs, with a scrounging brother, stalker ex-boyfriend and not much of a life. When a large amount of money literally falls into her lap, everything changes. The money comes from an attempted bribe by a hapless politician and his fixer, trying to placate a mob enforcer by swinging a vote. The Dallas climate and local wildlife cause enormous problems for all the bad guys and lead to some very funny parts amidst the action. I can see this as a really good film.
