About the Book

In 1979 Detroit, Janet Bolton, 37, has been informed that her husband has been murdered, in Fort Worth. He’d deserted Janet – and their five children – eight years before. Janet had spent most of those lean years working in a literal sweatshop (a hot dry-cleaning establishment) for virtually slave wages.

Now even the small stipend her husband had sent twice monthly, would no longer be forthcoming. Steve Francis, the Michigan State Police detective – who’d informed her of her husband’s demise –secures a much better-paying, far less-taxing, clerical position for her.

Janet’s problems do not end there. She has to contend with a smelly, behemoth, man – who tries to rob and rape (and probably kill) her. There’s an unprincipled suitor lurking about it the weeds – and another whose intentions are difficult to gauge.

Her sister’s husband commits suicide – in Chicago. Janet travels to “The Windy City” and fetches the widow. However, the sister’s philosophy is not highly-principled. She tries to entice Janet into numerous questionable endeavors.

In the midst of all this, Janet’s Number-Two Daughter is kidnapped – an offshoot of her father’s criminal activity in Texas.

There’s also a problem with Steve. Janet blunders into a raft of XXX photos, which appear to depict the detective in a “compromising” situation – sans his clothing.
