The Governor: Gardner "Rebound" Rothman---married, family values New Jersey Republican with White House fantasies, a terrible secret, and a controversial position on young interns: he's for 'em!
The Tart: Simone Lava, the voluptuous Miss Little Egg Harbor Township. Rebound keeps her hidden away in Atlantic City's seedy Celebrity Motel where she practices waving like a First Lady---a title she's been promised, if she'll just lay low during election season.
The Fixer: Chief Willie Thundercloud, former pro wrestler who runs the Jersey Shore's most ruthless damage control firm. The chief digs up the macabre truth about the governor.
The Pollster: Jonah Eastman, maverick political strategist raised by his mobster grandfather, who gave Rebound his start. Jonah knows only one thing can save the congenitally deceitful governor: a whopping, heartfelt lie.

Shakedown Beach rips open the slats of the Atlantic City boardwalk to impart the big lesson of American politics: when forced to look into one's soul and confront the painful truths of murder, corruption, and sexual depravity, don't be an idiot---hire the nastiest operatives money can buy and duck, dodge, and spin to November.

From the Inside Flap:
Praise for Jackie Disaster:
"One of those clever confidence stories that are so full of pleasures in its details...Give it a read."
- The Washington Post

"Jackie Disaster is the best thing to come out of Atlantic City since saltwater taffy."
- Kirkus (starred review)

"If you're keen on The Sopranos and have found yourself wishing Martha Stewart wasn't Living, you will delight in this Atlantic City-based romp starring Giovanni 'Jackie Disaster' DeSesto. This is a terrific story that puts the murder weapon precisely where it belongs - in the heart of our spin-doctored, sound-biting, celebrity-sleazed litigious society."
- St Petersburg Times

"This novel provides lots of fun in a Carl Hiassen mode."
- Publishers Weekly

Praise for Money Wanders:
"A riotous parody... [Dezenhall's] superb eye and ear at times call to mind such masters of the journalistic novel as Tom Wolfe. This is one for the carry-on bag."
- Time Magazine

"Dezenhall starts us off chuckling, moves us easily to guffaws, and then winds up with some nicely timed belly laughs... If this debut is any indication, Dezenhall's career as a novelist shouldn't need much spinning to take off."
- Booklist (starred review)

"Thoughtful, unpretentious, filled with laugh-out-loud funny scenes and delightfully realized characters. Place your bets on this winner."
- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
