THE JAKE CARD MYSTERIESThe series where freedom of speech makes its last stand against the forces of political correctness, which is government-controlled speech and government controlled behavior.THE UNTEACHABLESThey became known as the Unteachables because they didn't want to learn anything except how to be bad and cause trouble. They were delighted when they got kicked out of school. They had never wanted to go to school anyway. By then some of them were already behind bars where they all belonged.The Unteacheables came to Jake Card's attention because one of them was adopted for immoral purposes by the ex-wife of a man whose severed head was left in a cardboard box beside Card's back door, along with a note demanding money. The story got around that the dead man had hidden a lot of money in the desert and told no one but Card where the money was. Card had convinced everyone that he had no money except the greedy ex-wife or widow - and the Unteachables. Card agreed to give the woman a share of the money, but she soon left town in the trunk of her car - dead. And then the Unteachables demanded the rest of Card's money. They sent the most dangerous Unteachable of them all after it - a wild beautiful girl that no man could resist, including the diabolical police chief, Carl Malloy.
