Reader Reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Slick private eye tale, October 21, 2003 Reviewer: Beverley Strong from Australia Repressed and subservient housewife Ellen Lang,hires private investigator Elvis Cole to find her husband and son whom she thinks have been kidnapped. The body of the husband, Mort Lang is found in his car but with no sign of her son.Mort had been playing up with a small time starlet, Kimberley Marsh who introduced him to the world of drugs and big time crooks. When a large quantity of cocaine goes missing from the home of a mobster, Mort is suspected and everyone connected with him has their homes torn apart in the search for the drugs. Elvis is warned off the case by a detective from the Special Operations group and he begins to suspect a massive cover up which reaches into the police department. It;s a great, fast story with tons of action involving crooks, starlets and cops and doesn't let up for a moment.
