Get ready to laugh -- a lot -- when a CIA operative has to go off the grid. Fortune is in trouble with her boss in the CIA. Her chief sends her to the Louisiana swamps to hide her from an unhappy Middle East drug dealer. Since Chief Morrow gives Fortune no choice, she learns how to be a knitting, beauty contest winner in less than 24 hours. But wait, there's more. Fortune meets Ida Belle and Gertie, a pair of geriatrics who run Sinful, Louisiana.

From the human bone Bones (the elderly dog on the premises) finds in the backyard swamp to the sheriff (Robert E. Lee) who rides up on his equally-elderly horse, there is one joke after another. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so much. Get this book and strap yourself in for a wild ride.
