Wanda was no lady But she was everything else a woman could be. Blackmail, blue movies, seduction and swindling—all were right up Wanda's alley. It was when she saw her path heading for a dead end that she called in Mike Shayne. Soon Mike had a murdered temptress on his hands, a very live lovely in his arms, a crew of far-out suspects on his back—and his neck in a nasty noose of double-cross.
