Texas debutante Dainty Prescott returns in this witty suspenseful mystery


She finds that her family sold her Porsche with DBUTNT license plates; her sister took over her paid externship at WBFD-TV; and her police detective crush found a new girlfriend -- all because nobody expected Dainty to survive a harrowing Mexican border crossing with a two million dollar bounty on her head.


When Dainty's boss' dead wife rolls out of WBFD's broom closet he hires the Debutante Detective Agency to investigate but Dainty gets a stalker. By the time she discovers her social media pages have been hijacked and pornographic images of her are orbiting the Internet everyone's a suspect until they're not a suspect including her own sister the police and the rag-tag neighbors beyond the TV station's cinderblock wall.
