The eleventh book in the John Marshall Tanner series; a first-class noir novel in the hardboiled tradition tradition of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett.
Peggy Nettleton was P.I. John Marshall Tanner's loyal secretary for over eight years, so when she calls from her new home in Seattle asking for help, he can't say no.
About to marry wealthy investment banker Ted Evans, Peggy has a problem - Ted's young daughter Nina. The beautiful model has disappeared into the seedy Seattle underworld after posing for some nude photographs.
In helping Peggy, Tanner risks reopening old wounds and rekindling old desires, and faces a journey into the shady world of pornography and human trafficking in Seattle.
As he trails Nina to her oppressor's lair, Tanner is tested as never before... but can he find her before it's too late?
