'When I opened my eyes and sat up in bed Nora was shaking me and a
man with a gun in his hand was standing in the bedroom doorway.'
Ex-detective Nick Charles attracts trouble like a magnet. He thinks
his sleuthing days are over, but when Julia Wolf, a former
acquaintance, is found dead, her body riddled with bullets, Nick -
along with his glamorous wife, Nora - can't resist making a few
enquiries. Clyde Miller Wynant, Julia's lover and boss, has
disappeared. Everyone is after him, but Nick is not convinced
Wynant is the murderer - and when he finds a junked-up hoodlum with
a careless attitude to guns in his bedroom, it's only the beginning
of his troubles.
