TAPOUT
is about a beautiful young woman who's wanted to be a fireman all
her life. Her father was a chief in the department and told her
she'd have to be better to be as good as the men.
Lacy graduates from college and then from the fire academy and is
hired to work at station 13, which irritates every man there. The
only people who seem to be supportive are her Captain and the Fire
Marshal.
One man there, Hawkeye, seems to be the most angry to have her onboard.
He tortures her by putting gritty materials in her bed, by putting
a nasty poster in her study room and tells everybody that she must
be a lesbian.
Arsonist-set fires roar throughout her district making her life
a living hell as everybody claims it's her fault. By now she's called
"Bad Luck Lacy."
The media loves her and takes every opportunity to put her on the
front page of the papers and television cameras put her on the six
o'clock news.
In the end, Lacy nearly loses her life as the arsonist ties her
to a chair and fills a balloom with gasoline near the hot water
heater's flame.
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very
last page. It's full of mayhem, arson and dirty tricks.
