P.I. Bill Harlow has his strangest case yet – or, at least, his strangest client – a dead man. Jonathan Woods, a wealthy nightclub owner, stumbles into Harlow’s office having been poisoned and with only minutes left to breath. He throws a wad of cash on the gumshoe’s desk to find out who did him in. Suspect Number One: Veronica Woods, a stripper from one of his clubs who he married a week before.
