Jagger's done it again! This Bryson Wilde thriller is a tightly written
page-turner that stands among the best of Jagger's work. From
beginning to end, the story moves at a rapid pace. Wilde is a 50's era
PI that works out of a small office with his sexy assistant Alabama.
Wilde also plays drums at a steamy jazz club. Of course, Wilde chases
after a serial killer and there is nonstop action. Like all of Jagger's
books, this one follows several interconnected stories including Wilde's
detective work for the mysterious woman named Secret, a young
reporter who is investigating the strange murders of women in red
dresses, and a bad dude who tangled with bikers and is paid to kidnap
young women. The formula is similar to that in Jagger's other work,
but it works and works well.
