A BAD DAY FOR SCANDAL Now Available! hen big-city businesswoman Priss Porter returns to town with a body in her trunk, she expects Stella to dispose of it for her. She's even got a snapshot of Stella doing what she does best—curing woman-beaters by the use of force—in case Stella needs convincing. But Stella refuses to cooperate, only to hear later that Priss has gone missing. Stella is implicated when Sheriff "Goat" Jones discovers a scarf she left behind. He warns her to stay local, but Stella and her partner Chrissy Shaw go looking for Priss in Kansas City.
When bodies start turning up, Stella must investigate a host of suspects including a crooked but libidinous female judge and a coterie of jealous male escorts.
