Private detective Stephen Dancer is snooping around in the activities of some heroin dealers and they object strongly; first he is wounded by a sniper firing a high-powered rifle, then he gets a bomb tossed at him, and then is ambushed at a rendezvous at the lily pond. Finally, gang-moll Sharon Hill vamps him to distraction and she is able to shoot him. Lots of people get shot in this one, and some of them survive, but most don't.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
