Synopsis
Audrey Haas doesn't mind that her husband is a cross-dresser who likes to experiment with kinky sex. After all, Dr. Ernie is a stand-up guy who keeps her in a nice house in the suburbs with plenty of free time. During one of their afternoon sessions, Audrey is chained to the stove, and Ernie is behind her wearing his favorite high-heels and hose. Then he has a heart attack and falls on top of her. What's a dumb blonde housewife to do? She reaches for the electric carving knife.

Publisher's Note
The author of The Deal, The Dreyfuss Affair and Di and I creates a laugh-out-loud, sharp-edged, breathless farce. When a cross-dressing urologist from New York suffers a massive, fatal heart attack while having sex with his wife--who's handcuffed to the stove at the time--complications ensue. 320 pp. 25,000 print.

Industry Reviews
"His story about the brouhaha surrounding a scandalous court case tries hard to be outrageous, but to minds jaded by tabloid television it may sound downright routine....In less expert hands, the failure of this scenario to outdo reality might have proved fatal, but Mr. Lefcourt...is simply too entertaining a writer to be stymied by a tired premise. He skillfully choreographs the ballet of exploitation surrounding the trial, shaping each grisly twist and turn of the proceedings with obvious delight. And his dialogue reveals a keen understanding of the linguistic Zeitgeist..."
New York Times Book Review - Gary Krist (03/02/1997)
