Description
Stanley Hastings, the New York private detective, is back in the swing of things. Playing it safe and toning down his investigations, however, doesn’t work for him because he is a trouble magnet. Stanley needs to help an apparently innocent housewife/call girl get out of the prostitution ring and retrieve a compromising video of her that is being held hostage by her pimp. Unfortunately, Stanley walks into the pimp’s apartment while a slaughter is in progress. To make matters worse, Stanley is the number-one suspect. Oh, what to do in this world of money, sex, and Murder!
