Just when you think you've got it made... Hard-headed, quick-fisted and sometimes as funny as he thinks he is, small-town Maine private detective Paul Doyle is equally adept at throwing haymakers and one-liners. But when his go-for-broke style fails to produce missing stripper Cherry Delight, Doyle realizes it'll take more than a string of snappy quotes to save her. He'll have to think his way through this case, and thinking has never been his strong suit. As the bullets fly and a trail of bodies appear to be linked to Cherry's disappearance, Doyle believes he's getting close to the truth. And he knows he may be the next one in the killer's crosshairs.
