IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway is hard at work again. This
time, she's after Noah Fischer, the charismatic minister of
a Dallas mega church known as The Ark. While the pastor may
not worship a golden calf, he's milking the church like his
personal cash cow, financing his luxurious home, designer
wardrobe, and lavish vacations via the church's collection
plate. Despite repeated requests for the taxes due, Fischer
has yet to render unto Caesar.
As if dealing with an uncooperative preacher and his
extensive legal team isn't bad enough, Tara's also pursuing
the vice-president of The Republic of Texas, a militant
separatist group purporting to operate its own sovereign
nation. August Buchmeyer hasn't paid taxes since Ronald
Reagan was in the White House and is none too happy when
Tara comes to collect.
Tara's usual partner, Eddie, has been temporarily promoted
to head the Dallas Criminal Investigations office while
their boss, Lu Lobozinski, undergoes treatment for lung
cancer. Unfortunately, the chemotherapy reduces Lu's
signature eight-inch strawberry-blond beehive to pitiful
peach fuzz. Even Lu's Chinese contraband extra-hold
hairspray isn't enough to give her thinning hair its
customary height and attitude. Tara vows to find Lu a wig
just like her usual updo, but it's not easy to find a
beehive wig these days, let alone one in Lu's unique
pinkish-orange color.
To make matters worse, Tara's boyfriend, Brett, has gone to
Atlanta for business, leaving her vulnerable to the charms
of Nick Pratt, another special agent assigned to assist her
on the Ark and Republic of Texas cases.
Tara's life has become a hopelessly tangled mess. Can she
find a way out of these hairy situations?p
