When young, broke, and single Chip Harrison finds a bus ticket to Bordentown, South Carolina, he knows it was sent by the hand of fate. It s his way out of wintry New York City, and a way into the warm welcome of Bordentown s sheriff! But before long, Chip charms his way into the sheriff s good graces and into the arms of Lucille, the preacher s daughter. Even Chip should see he is headed for trouble with a capital T, in another furiously funny caper by Edgar Award-winning Lawrence Block.
