Her uninhibited hospitality made it hard for Lieutenant Al Wheeler to keep business before pleasure...but he was a cop, and he was there to ask questions about a murder. An artist dies violently, and Al Wheeler begins a deadly, dangerous case a case that leads from an artists studio to a tycoons plush pent-house office; from a lovely wanton to a strait-laced society wife; from a mysterious picture to multiple death!
