Wanda Mallory, P.I. is the tough-talking, chain-smoking, funky-chic owner of the Do It Right Detective Agency in Times Square, New York City. Wanda's heart belongs to "Mama", her pearl-handled .22, and to her cat Otis. But she's always ready for a good time, and a good cause - like finding out who strangled her friend and former employer Belle Beatrice, the bitchy gorgeous publisher of the women's soft-porn magazine Midnight. According to Belle's prophetic will, Wanda has a week to catch the killer—with half a million dollars for motivation if she meets the deadline. From trendy Soho restaurants to the gritty bars of Times Square where Belle's Swedish stud fiancé finds consolation, Wanda and her photographer sidekick Alex Beaudine heat up the city, looking for an X-rated murderer who's leaving hard-core clues. Clues such as obscene black balloons and erotic poems that are terrorizing the staff at Midnight. Wanda and Alex are one step ahead of the police in a race for time and money—to catch a killer before he strikes again!

Death pops a wheelie! Sparks fly when Wanda Mallory, proprietress of Times Square’s Do It Right Detective Agency, meets the heated gaze of Strom Bismark, leader of New York City’s notorious biker gang, Blood & Iron. Still smarting from another romantic disaster, Wanda impulsively takes on the smouldering Strom as a client. Someone has ripped off a bundle of cash from his East Village social club/casino, and the case gets as hot as a biker’s muffler when a corpse is discovered in Strom’s office. Flush Royale, a sexy blackjack dealer, has been fatally bashed with a frozen salami. Wanda goes undercover and out of breath in Flush’s skintight mini and leather bustier, spinning a roulette wheel in Strom’s illegal casino. With her estranged lover and sidekick Alex Beaudine, she’s tangling with biker brutes, a finger-breaking loan shark, and finally with Flush’s killer—who’s revving up to send Wanda on a one-way trip down the Highway to Hell.
