Official synopsis Publisher

Before the crack-crazed thieves can follow through, however, gorgeous, whip-smart Nurse Tina, who’s just offed her husband with a bowl of Drano-laced Lucky Charms, absconds with the goods. When Manny Rubert, a scarred ex-junkie turned codeine-popping detective, is called in to investigate the “foamer” hubby’s untimely demise, love hits him like a wrench to the head.
Soon Manny and Tina are making plans of their own for the presidential pie — and for their future together. But the meddling police chiefs and motel room sex-change surgeons of the world just won’t leave them alone. And then there are those killer crackheads, still out there and closing in….
