Publisher's Synopsis
Is she really an innocent blonde model? Or is she just posing? When Chester Wheeler, an old army buddy, comes into town on business, he and Mike Hammer get together for old time's sake, have a few drinks and pass out in his hotel room. When Mike gets up the next morning, he finds Chester dead, shot with Mike's own .45. Although he isn't charged with the murder, his P.I. and gun licences are revoked by the District Attorney and Mike finds himself chasing the killer with the odds stacked against him. His investigation takes him to a modelling agency where he meets Miss Juno Reeves, an extraordinary beauty with a secret. He is captivated by her looks but there is something about her that he can't quite put his finger on. Third in the Mike Hammer series.
