Now that mom's gravy train has derailed, gambling, debt-ridden Palm Beach playboy Warren Chip Ganz has decided to take somebody rich hostagewith the help of a Bahamian ex-con, a psycho gardener/enforcer, and the beautiful, if underfed, psychic Reverend Dawn.

The big trouble is, ace manhunter U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is sleeping with Harry's exexotic dancer ex-girlfriend, and Joyce wants Harry found. And since nearly everyone has guns, locating and springing the captive bookie almost certainly can't happen without some measure of lethal difficulty.
