Description
Helen Keremos, private eye for hire, is tired of the Toronto rat-race and is eager to return to her quiet life in Vancouver.
But the newly wealthy - and extremely beautiful - songstress Sonia Deerfield is being blackmailed by an unknown harasser and requests Helen's services as personal bodyguard and detective. The money's good, and the client is charming, so Helen reluctantly agrees. Meeting Sonia's inner circle, it's clear that someone close to the singer isn't as loyal as she believes...
With her own life soon in danger, Helen races against the clock to discover which of Sonia's friends wants her dead, before it's too late for them both.
A reprint of the long-lost classic pulp novel that features the first openly lesbian detective in fiction.

Editorial Reviews
"A fast-paced thriller with a female detective who's a cross between Philp Marlowe and Lily Tomlin. The one-liners alone are worth the trip." - Margaret Atwood
