Playing with Danger

A young woman's body is discovered in a Louisiana swamp, and the case falls to New Orleans police detective King Randolph. He soon finds that private investigator Lenore Martin is also involved, and he regards her as a troublesome presence he would rather keep out of the inquiry. Neither trusts the other, yet they reluctantly form a sharp-tongued partnership.

As more victims turn up, the two grow closer, and the attraction between them becomes harder to ignore. The danger they face is not confined to the bayou; it reaches into the city itself.
