About the book: 1994 / It seems that all the losers in the world were looking for protection from Maxie Barnell, a journalist from the cheap newspaper Regard, published in the provincial town of Boulder, Colorado. Instead of heartfelt essays and interviews with celebrities, Maxie dealt with neurotic women, torn by life, knocked off their feet in search of their spree husbands... Or nimble clerks from roadside motels, whose imagination was fed by stories about the adventures of visiting couples. Everything changed the day Maxi's boss became the victim of an assassination attempt. Deciding that her time has come, she decides to use all her detective skills to unearth the truth about this misfortune. But she will only find a lot of trouble on her head. And only a brave detective will come to her aid in the most difficult moment. Next to him, she is ready to spend her entire life until old age... or what is left for her.
