Title: Rummies
First published: 1989
Description: Everyone knows that New York book editor Scott Preston is a lush except Scott Preston.  A double vodka for breakfast doesn't mean he has a problem, right?  Scott doesn't listen to reason, but he does listen to threats--he'll lose his wife and his job if he doesn't enter New Mexico's Banner Rehabilitation Clinic.  Okay, he'll go, but he's no rummy like the crazies in that place--the salesman in a bunny suit, the tough-love hooker, the sensuous heiress, the bombshell film star, and the Mafia drunkard who must get sober--or die.  It's all just too funny.  Until things get serious.

Someone dies in an "accident."  Someone else vanishes.  Everyone suspects everyone else.  And Scott Preston realizes that rummies have to stick together.
