Cannon was engaged to find the sister of a movie queen from the heyday of Hollywood. The lady had vanished two decades ago but the heavyweight private eye figured he could wrap the case up fast, despite the time-lag.

Then the hit men came gunning for him and Cannon found himself chasing from the sun-dappled boulevards of Los Angeles to the windswept streets of Chicago and back following up leads and dodging bullets.

But when he finally traced the little sister his troubles were only just beginning for Cannon found he'd traced himself a headlong collision with a ruthless crime syndicate who wanted him very, very dead.
