Description
When an elderly Detroit lawyer and a young lingerie model are found murdered in the lawyer’s mansion, homicide detective Frank Delsa is drawn into a case steeped in sexual intrigue, deception, and competing motives. As he questions the lawyer’s glamorous companions, ambitious associates, and possible enemies, the investigation exposes a volatile world where everyone seems to be performing a role. Set against the sharp-edged reality of Detroit, the novel explores corruption, desire, loyalty, and the slippery nature of truth. With lean prose, vivid characters, and crackling dialogue, it showcases Elmore Leonard’s signature blend of suspense, dark humor, and streetwise observation.
