Trigger Mortis

Johnny Liddell, private investigator, is not accustomed to a quiet life. But life was never less quiet for him than after he met Celeste Pierce, a redhead who was giving several famous bosomy blondes a run for their money. Everything was going swimmingly for Celeste until she was blackmailed by Bare Facts, a magazine which had some bare facts about Celeste from her girl-in-the-pie period. She is willing to pay for pictures and films, and Johnny sets off to get them back.


Unfortunately for Johnny’s peace of mind, the impetuous Celeste goes off herself to see Murray Carter, the unattractive publisher of the unattractive periodical. The next day Carter is found dead in his apartment, and someone has obviously lent a helping hand, given the bullet hole in the back of his skull...


"DID SHE DO IT?" is the question of the day.  Johnny has just forty-eight hours to figure it out.
