                                CHAPTER ONE

   The woman walked into my office, and I instantly recognized her as
Clarissa Fromage, charged with murdering her late husband, wealthy
industrial polluter A. Cranston "Bud" Fromage, whose death was originally
reported as a heart attack, but later ruled a homicide when sophisticated
laboratory tests showed that his head had been cut off.

   "So," she said, and I could tell by the way she spoke the word that it
had quotation marks around it.  "You're a young Southern lawyer resembling
a John Grisham protagonist as much as possible without violating the
copyright laws."
   "That's right," I replied.  "Perhaps we can have sex."
   "Not in the first chapter," she said.


                                CHAPTER TWO

   "Ohhhhhhh," she cried out.  "OOOHMIGOD."
   "I'm sorry," I said, "but that's my standard hourly fee."
