    About this ebook

    Johnny Phelan had two corpses behind him -- "Three and you're out, Johnny," the cops told him. "Out of this world, real gone cool on a marble slab . . . worth a hot quarter-million bucks in small kills . . ." So in the land of masquerade and make-up, Hollywood's toughest private peep ducked wild bullets and wilder babes -- to learn the hard way that --
    YOU CAN ALWAYS DIE TWICE!


    "This is hard-boiled mystery with all the necessary elements... Fans of the hard-boiled are likely to enjoy the book." -- Reading California Fiction
