Produktbeschreibung

Kindhearted and loudmouthed Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham have only just set out on their long-awaited cross-country drive to the West Coast when the trouble begins. It's bad enough that they wind up in a seedy, truck stop nightclub, but then it's raided by the police! Thankfully, Chief Connolly can tell they're decent folks and lets them off easy, but he needs a favor in return. He wants them to take a passenger on their trip; a dangerous passenger they'll need to outwit before making it home. Mary Lasswell is firing on all cylinders again in this madcap, slapstick, high-spirited adventure-the fourth to star Mrs. Feeley and friends.

Autorenporträt

Mary Lasswell was born in Glasgow in 1905 and raised in Texas. Many of her novels, which enjoyed immense popularity in the 1940s and 1950s, are set in the American Southwest. She is, perhaps, best-known for her series of humorous titles, beginning with Suds in Your Eye, that center around three altruistic, beer-loving elderly women who reside in the San Diego's Noah's Ark junkyard. The series features illustrations by George Price, known for his art in The New Yorker. In 1944, Jack Kirkland adapted Suds in Your Eye into a Broadway play. In addition to her novels, Lasswell wrote editorials for the Houston Chronicle in the 1960s.
