SOME REPORTERS WOULD KILL FOR A SCOOP.
Dateline: Chicago 1955
A hardboiled mystery … lady style
Come along for a romp with Iris Grenadine, beat reporter with the Chicago Daily Standard, who uses her pen as a sword and her wits as a lethal weapon against the mob.
When the mayor’s righthand man is murdered in a place where no man wants to be caught dead, the only witness isn’t talking and neither is the mayor.
Determined to snag an exclusive that could break the town wide open, Iris arms herself with attitude, a fashion sense to die for, and a pearl-handled derringer.
Enter Richard Starr, a private eye who holds the world record for pickup lines, come-ons, and sizzling kisses yet always arrives at the right place at the wrong time.
Together, Iris and Starr come up against more fat cats, cool cars, machine guns, wise guys, and car chases than the law allows.
After one corpse turns into two and two corpses turn into three, Iris finds herself looking down the wrong end of a gun barrel. Now the fun really begins.
NO STORY IS WORTH GETTING HER BRAINS BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS … OR IS IT?
