Wanted Deb or Alive

Twenty-three-year-old Dainty Prescott‚ indulged society girl‚ TCU graduate‚ WBFD-TV intern and last year’s debutante‚ finally has everything she desires — until an early morning phone call from an international operator sends her life spiraling out of control. Her younger sister Teensy‚ this year’s debutant, chartered a plane for Mexico with a friend after the Rubanbleu ball the previous night. Now Teensy’s in critical condition in a Ciudad Juÿrez hospital and her friend is missing. Their taxi turned out to be a gypsy cab — what’s known as the Kidnapping Express — and the Mexican police may be behind it. But before Dainty learns the name of Teensy’s hospital‚ the call gets disconnected.

As Dainty’s odyssey forces her further into the steamy underbelly of a poverty-stricken nation filled with drug smugglers‚ crooked cops‚ serial killers and human traffickers she’s pursued by a relentless man-in-black known as El Mortero — The Undertaker. Can a naïve socialite stay one step ahead of assorted killers and rescue her sister — and other innocent victims — while people are being gunned down all around her? And what does The Ladies’ Guide to Homicide have to do with the rescue?
