It started as a routine tail – shadowing an oily hustler who’d been courting a well-healed matron. But the assignment soon led Donald Lam to a sleazy hotel room with a sexy barfly.

And it’ll take some fancy footwork to sidestep the law – and the real killer, who intends to leave Bertha Cool partnerless.
