What is this book about?

One Beauty vanished form sight. Another dead in a hail of bullets. Would the lovely Lina be next? Even here in the drizzly rain outside the El Cuchillo, she was hotter than a welder’s torch. Here’s your chance to meet Shell Scott, the sharpest Private Eye you’ve ever known—the darling of all dames, the envy of all guys.
