When a wealthy man insists that his missing fiancee must be there, hard-nosed, investigator-for-hire Jack Hagee travels to the Big Apple. Her trail leads Hagee into the depths of New York's seedy night life, where he discovers the secrets of the woman's disappearance--and the truth behind her own private hell. Raw vitality.--The Armchair Detective.
Resembling the tired-of-life, cynical Phillip Marlowe and the tough-mindedness of Mike Hammer, Jack Hagee travels about New York in search of a client's former fiancee. Some excellent action mingles with the outstanding descriptions of New York city. The only drawback is the focus on underground sex that fills the last quarter of the book. Other than that, a grade A mystery, best suited to be read on a rainy night.
