TJ Davis seems to always be in a mess. This time is no exception. He is not satisfied to be in just one mess, but three. He has some thieves who want to kill him, some protection money mafia types who want to kill him, and a disgruntled husband who wants to kill him. He is held at gun point, car bombed, fire bombed, threatened and even worse, he has an aunt coming to town to stay with him for who knows how long. Thanksgiving is only a few days away and his roommate has decided he wants to cook for the whole neighborhood. However as usual he has his friends Pinky and Jane to help. His girlfriend Lana is there also and that rounds out his little group of crime solvers. As usual the author has thrown in tidbits about wines and describes many of the old time establishments around Dallas.
