    "description": "<p>Hired by the doyenne of Dallas's nouveau riche, Sherri Plunkett, to stalk whoever is stalking her daughter Sandra, ex-lawyer-turned-investigator Jack Flippo is about to be taught some hard lessons about the pursuit of easy money... Sandra doesn't seem to mind the attention, while Jack (who should know better) doesn't mind Sandra's attentions &ndash; or her appetite for high-speed exhibitionism. What Jack doesn't know is that he's being stalked himself by Teddy Tunstra II, a thug he put inside for what may prove to be a dangerously short sentence. Jack thinks he's ahead of the game when he gets wind of a plot to stage Sandra's kidnapping, but it turns out he's one step behind Teddy and his hulking jailhouse crony, Frederick Mertts. Everyone's intent on feeding Jack a steady diet of misinformation, disinformation, and flat-out lies, and he'll choke to death unless he can dig up some harsh truths about Sherri's past, Sandra's, and his own.</p>",
