Follow Alex's antics and adventures in the brilliant high speed thriller, "Motor Mouth". A woman with a taste for speed and a talent for breaking the rules, Barney knows a little too much about cheating. First there was Hooker and that sales clerk, and now she's convinced that arch rival Huevo Motor Sports is up to no good on the track. Snooping to find evidence, Hooker, Barney and Beans, a 150-pound St Bernard hound, discover more than they bargained for - a shrink-wrapped body with a hole in its head. And the dead guy just happens to be Huevo's head honcho, Oscar. A number of competitors wanted him silenced, not to mention his long-suffering, surgically perfected wife, so who actually pulled the trigger? Most likely the creep who dognaps Beans! Barney, Hooker and the Super Cigar Ladies Felicia and Rosa shift into gear on a wild race around Florida and North Carolina to rescue Beans, outpace a pair of goons named Horse and Baldy! And expose a dirty cheater.
