A classic from one of the most respected post-Chandler crime writers, credited by Michael Connelly as a major influence. When beautiful Helen Duffy asks Milo Milodragovitch for help finding her missing brother, he can't resist. He needs the money but mostly he wants to spend more time with her. But what seems like a routine case is far from it, and a long-past crime haunts their every move... That all changes when Helen Duffy walks into his office and asks him to find her missing brother. Though it's not his usual line of work, Milo agrees to help - he needs the money, and he wants to spend more time with this beautiful woman.
