A quick question. What would you do if a beautiful, naked, young woman showed up at your door at 3 AM, asking for help? Would you let her in, as I did? And if you did, would you be prepared for the consequences? I certainly wasn't. Science Fiction writer Chet Novicki's first venture into the mystery/crime genre is a doozy, with a killer plot, likable characters, and an extremely satisfying ending. Consider the characters: Buttaree Gudnis, exotic dancer. Penelope Sux, runaway porn star. Harry Dick, mob-connected porn producer. Plus: Murder, missing mob money, a sleazy private eye, secret lockers, bad guys, good guys, more bad guys, and a beautiful Waikiki setting. Oh, and stoner/slacker Archie Morris, accidentally caught up in all this fun. Need I say more?
