Chris also tells Hammer that he has a daughter, Michelle. When Chris is murder in the Grand Jury room Hammer is determined to find her killers and his daughter. There is a twist when Jack Vance tries to hire Hammer, and another one when he finds out his daughter appears to have been a porn star. However, his daughter has disappeared. There are more twists and turns before Hammer brings the case to a conclusion.—jem
