He trusted sequins over evidence. Now he's out of time.
Joe Harlan's no hero — a washed-up private eye with a bad liver, a cheap suit, and a talent for getting played. When a redhead with ice in her veins drags him into a Paradise Motel blackmail scheme, Joe figures it's just another con wrapped in perfume. But this one comes loaded: a missing maid, a .38 that won't stay in its holster, and a double-indemnity policy signed in blood and betrayal.
