Grimes, Martha. (Author).

Summary:

Cindy Sella struggles with writer's block and a lawsuit by her unscrupulous former agent, L. Bass Hess, who is targeted by bumbling hitmen Candy and Karl's zany efforts to drive him out of New York City.
In Grime's new send-up of a world she knows very well, Candy and Karl, hitmen with a difference - they have scruples- once again venture into the murky Manhattan publishing scene. This time they come to the aid of a writer who is being sued bu her unscrupulous literary agent, L. Bass Hess, a man determined to get a 15 percent commission for a book he didn't sell. The contract killers join forces with publishing mogul Bobby Mackenzie and megabestseller Paul Giverney to rid the mean streets of Hess, not by shooting him but by driving him crazy. They are helped by other characters from 'Foul Matter' and a crew of new colourful personalities, including an out-of-work Vegas magician, an alligator wrangler, a glamorous Malaysian con lady and Hess's aunt in Everglades City, who has undergone a wildly successful sex change.
