description: New York City 1950. Mike Hammer is not the only private cop in town. Marlowe Black walks the streets with a PI license to serve justice, a .45 automatic, his fists and an attitude to get the case solved regardless of the consequences. When a stranger's body mysteriously lands in his office after a long Fourth of July weekend, Black is determined to learn why. Bullets fly and bodies fall as he hunts the killer through a maze of government agents, missing Russian gold coins, Nazi fugitives, greed, and women worth fighting for and knowing intimately. Black has to right an old wrong, make a heart-stopping discovery, and wrestle with a decision to adhere to principles that reach beyond love and death.
