Book Description
Beautiful stripper Susan Gellert, was insured for 1,000,000 against every recognized cause of death. The premiums were low, the risks were high. In fact, it was a perfect set-up for murder. Steve Harmas, investigator for National Fidelity, runs into trouble from the moment the policy is sold. He is stuck in an elevator shaft with a bloody corpse; and meets a blonde nude who caresses cobras and an alcoholic movie queen, an d a freak who kills for laughs. Finally fired for handling a corpse, he has only his life to lose, so Steve gets tough. The bizarre solution is revealed when he brings the murders to a crashing culmination, in a welter of blood and lust that makes the hair stand on end.
