Rent Whacked

Synopsis

There are things they don't tell you in seminary school. Lonnie Squires is certain that if she'd been warned that her calling could lead to death by clog dancing, she'd remember.

One little day of perfection--it hadn't seemed like that much to ask. Scrub up Middelburg to look morally upright and conservatively righteous for one little day. A rabid devotion to soccer and marshalling children in her day care center has given Lonnie drill sergeant skills. She believes she can take on this assignment from the Bishop and survive a summer enjoying the Wentelteefjes and Olliebollen of her home town. IIt's not as if a girlfriend will be missing her.

She expects politicos, parishioners and the general populace all to want a piece of the action--and of her, if anything goes wrong. But nothing will go wrong. Then the crusading reporter intent on exposing the secrets of those behind Family Values Day turns up dead, and Lonnie's one little day turns into one big nightmare.

Is it the politician using anti-gay sentiment to line her campaign coffers? The ultra-conservative software king who wants to quarter his company in the idyllic Middelburg? Someone with secrets about to be exposed? Or, more urgently, is it the same person who now wants Lonnie dead as well?
