Private detective Shell Scott, a desperate fellow, an adventurer. The setting is luxurious and unpredictable Hollywood, where Scott is in danger of losing his job. His clients are movie stars, movie business tycoons and other “cream of society.”

translation of the annotation of the American edition Shell Scott, a detective who will make Sherlock turn in his grave... an eccentric knight errant of gorgeous girls who leaves behind their beautiful bodies (not dead)... a private detective who is the enemy of every killer. This is the first book in this thrilling mystery series. The case of the missing beauty began when one beauty disappeared and another died in a hail of bullets. Next on the kill list was the beautiful Lina... Lina who was hotter than a welder's torch... and Shell Scott left his asbestos suit at home.
