When Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan is invited to dine with a millionaire, she doesn't expect the first course to be a gun in her face. It draws her into a gold-plated web of theft, revenge, double crosses and murder. A big-time swindle has made fools of some of the city's wealthiest businessmen. The man behind it has vanished. When Maggie begins asking questions, he reappears - dead in the river. But she's already learned too much. Someone's out to silence her too. Armed with her .38 and a nip of gin, Maggie closes in on a killer as a mobster offers a hint, a cop unsettles her with his chemistry, and a woman with deadly potential plays a game by her own rules.

Tough Cookie

A .38, a nip of gin and sensational legs get Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan out of any scrape - until a stranger threatens to bust her nose and a client lands her in the cross-hairs of a sadistic crime boss. Matching wits against dangerous men, with bits of information from a dimestore waitress, a ragged newsboy and the girls from her rooming house, Maggie follows a path that leaves her drugged, in her car in a ditch. A gunman puts a bullet through Maggie's hat. Her shutterbug pal on the evening paper warns her off. A new cop with an unsettling presence suspects her. Finally she faces a half-crazed man with a gun, and an equally lethal point-blank killer who tells her snooping is no game for a dame.
