✦ Synopsis

Mike Shayne is all hes cracked up to be. Hes a quick thinker, a mans man (not to mention a ladies man). He solves the case with dogged persistence that is sometimes lacking in the police. In this case, his best friend, Tim Rourke, is stirring up a Miami Beach hornets nest as he reports a series of murders that seems to be connected to the burgeoning gambling racket on the Beach. Each of three victims has been seduced away from winning tables by a gorgeous blond, and subsequently found dead minus the winnings and with .32 bullets managing the murder at close range.

For all the trouble hes causing with his stories, Rourke is found shot in his apartment. It doesnt hurt that a number of blonds have been seen visiting, or that he is known to have an affinity for blonds. At the news of his buddys misfortune, Shayne hops the first train from New Orleans to work with his friends at the Miami Police Department to the chagrin of the Miami Beach Police Chief. Amid the incompetence (or lack of initiative) of the police, Shayne investigates by following leads that the Chief Painter wants to ignore. . . and finds the killer in the sea of blonds.
