    About this ebook

    Fun-crazy Kim Rumshaw refused to wall herself away from any available men just because she was engaged to Howard Massey. So when gangster Eddie Tarino invited her to play love games on his yacht, she was eager and willing to go.


    Later Kim wa just as eager to forget the whole affair. But Tarino had other plans. And when Massey was beaten up and her aunt threatened, she turned to private detective Rod Striker for help.


    Rod sent his curvaceous partner, Myra, as a decoy to lure Tarino away from Kim. But she turned up a game of international intrigue that left her fighting for more than her virtue!

      A terrific pulpish detective novel. Rod Striker and Myra Bailey are private investigators in Miami. A rich older lady who happens to be a multimillionaire hires Striker. Seems her niece, the irresistible Kim, met a shark who runs strip joints and gambling boats. Now she can't get rid of Tarino whose threatening her fiancé and her aunt. The aunt wants Striker to take the mobster In a back alley and teach him a lesson. Kim is in an electric field all her own. Even her touch was electric. She admitted she was a bit nympho and proved it. This is a well- written and well crafted story that reads very quickly. Private investigators, mobsters, heiresses, gunfights, and other intrigue are all here. One of the interesting storytelling devices that Colby uses is that about midway through the book he switches viewpoints and tells the tale from Myra's point of view. All in all, one great read.
