A Long Walk Up the Water Slide
Sometime student and detective Neal Carey would rather be finishing a dull doctoral thesis than staring down the nose of a loaded gun, but his new task doesn’t sound dangerous. All he has to do is pull off the ultimate makeover: turn Polly Paget—a gum-chewing, foul-mouthed, big-haired broad—into a lady in time to testify in a rape case against the head of the Family Cable Network and America’s most beloved family man. But Polly isn’t cooperating, and everyone—a former FBI agent, an obsessive-compulsive hitman, the Mafia, a porn prince, and a slew of tabloid reporters—is on her trail. In a hellish and hilarious escapade through Nevada—with a hair-raising climax in a shoddily built amusement park—Neal tries to escape the mob’s big guns while taking a slippery walk up the world’s biggest water slide.
