Published in 2004 by Hodder and Stoughton.

When charismatic hustler Ruby Rose meets Scarborough waitress Mo at a wake in a New Orleans diner, she offers to be Mo's guide on a road trip across America. But it isn't long before mousy Mo suspects that Ruby Rose's insatiable thirst for adventure covers a deeper secret. In this daring, sharply funny novel, Mo discovers that tricks aren't just about sex- that we all turn tricks in our own way.
