Luscious Dotty De Rham liked her kicks weird and her sex kinky, and she had the looks and money to satisfy her every crazy craving. So, when Dotty's far-out husband ran out on her, she hired Mike Shayne to get him back. At first Mike thought the job was a three-ring circus of fun and games, with the man-eating millionairess, a lustful love queen, and a tempting teenybopper all in the act. Then the murders started, and suddenly Mike was in a carnival of blackmail, arson, adultery and every other cardinal sin, as he raced along a high wire of danger where one false move would be his last… MIKE SHAYNE, THE COOLEST PRIVATE EYE OF THEM ALL, SWINGS INTO RED-HOT ACTION IN ONE OF HIS GREATEST CASES OF MYSTERY AND MAYHEM.
