Dirt by Stuart Woods

The title could fit this story in more than one way, but if Woods cut out the gratuitous sex and concentrated on the story he would only have a rather short novella.

Someone is dishing the dirt on several society players via anonymous faxes to those well placed to damage their careers (such as they are). It seems rather silly that those who live by telling dirty tales on everyone else would be expected to live lives of high moral standards, so where is the shock value in learning that they do not?

At least, this book clarifies the issue Barrington's missing girl-friend in the next book, which I accidentally read out of sequence. In that one, she was absent so he could spend all his time in bed with the accused murderess. She is very much present in this one, occasionally she even has clothing on, but seldom for long.
