Anyway, he has enough problems. A client has been killed while under the protection of Johnny and his partner. Twice-married, middle-aged and overweight, in fact downright unattractive, Dorothy Grove was nothing to write home about. She'd approached the agency about fears that she was being stalked by a fellow member of her dating club, Simply Single. Now she's dead and Johnny is having a hard time believing it was a crime of passion. But what are the alternatives?

Although the case continues to tax Johnny, the bills have to be paid and a dead client doesn't bring in much money. An industrial espionage investigation for a pharmaceuticals company, DRP, is also on the books and as he attempts to get to the bottom of the matter he makes some rather interesting findings. Interesting, that is, until another victim is shot dead and the action gets a bit too close for comfort...
