Tough Guys Don't Dance

Writer Tim Madden wakes up from a two-week bender to find a pool of blood in his car, a severed blond woman's head in his marijuana stash, and the new police chief, Captain Luther Regency, involved with his former girlfriend Madeleine. As Tim tries to unravel the mystery, he's pursued by Captain Regency, who has a personal vendetta against him. Tim's investigation leads him to suspect everyone, including his ex-wife Patty Lareine, his former prep-school pal Wardley Meeks III, and even himself. The case becomes increasingly complex as more bodies turn up, including Patty Lareine's, and Tim discovers a massive marijuana deal involving his wife, her ex-husband Wardley, and a missing porn star.
