- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A terrific pulpish detective novel. Rod Striker and Myra Bailey are private investigators in Miami. A rich older lady who happens to be a multimillionaire hires Striker. Seems her niece, the irresistible Kim, met a shark who runs strip joints and gambling boats. Now she can't get rid of Tarino whose threatening her fiancé and her aunt. The aunt wants Striker to take the mobster In a back alley and teach him a lesson. Kim is in an electric field all her own. Even her touch was electric. She admitted she was a bit nympho and proved it. This is a well- written and well crafted story that reads very quickly. Private investigators, mobsters, heiresses, gunfights, and other intrigue are all here. One of the interesting storytelling devices that Colby uses is that about midway through the book he switches viewpoints and tells the tale from Myra's point of view. All in all, one great read.
