Opis

John Denson has always admired the classic hardboiled detectives Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, but in his own private-eye work he is more of a soft-boiled sleuth favoring screw-top wines and refusing to carry a gun. The moment Pamela Yew walks into Denson s office and introduces herself as a detective working for Coyote, the San Francisco Prostitutes Union, he is beguiled by her beauty and he quickly agrees to help her hunt for a homicidal pimp. The pimp, it seems, is hiding in Cayuse, Oregon, which just happens to be Denson s home town. All Denson has to do is act as Pamela s decoy by introducing her as his fiancee while she goes about her business. Once he arrives home, though, Denson finds that Pamela Yew is working on a far more deadly game than vengeance and that he is being used as more than an innocent decoy."
