Haint Punch

Richard J. Murff

Lucy Burton is sitting on the biggest political story of the year. It's uncomfortable. Deke Kipling is hunted by militant feminists and strangely impotent men's rights group. He needs a vacation. Both get what they ask for - and hard.


The media is scrambling for access to a well-armed political three-way as a sex-pot evangelical and an oily congressman scramble for Mississippi's newly vacant senate seat. And is the "Old Bear of the Senate" planning to take on American's unstable tycoon-cum-president? Or is he a latter-day Guy Fawkes, planning to blow the whole thing up?


HAINT PUNCH is a cocktail of sleazy kingmakers, victim dealers, hashtag crusaders, dateless nymphomaniacs, and bourbon-soaked aristocrats. Topical and hilarious, touching a deep and widespread feeling that we must cry for the current state of affairs, or have a stiff drink about it.
