The Last Good Kiss

"When I finally caught up with Abraham Trahearne, he was drinking beer with an alcoholic bulldog named Fireball Roberts in a ramshackle joint just outside of Sonoma, California, drinking the heart out of a fine spring afternoon... "

That's how Detective C. W Sughrue ended one search and began another -- a search for a girl in a dog-eared photo, ten years lost and gone. Now Sughrue has finally hit the big time, hunting down Betty Sue Flowers, the barmaid's beautiful daughter.

Who, what, and where is Betty Sue Flowers? ... Ask the men who knew her, but never well enough ... ask the mobster who wants her dead... the friend who says she is ... But don't ask Sughrue -- who's putting his life on the line for 87 bucks and a passionate obsession for a girl in a dog-eared photo.
