Detective "Fang" Mulheisen returns in a rollicking thriller hailed as "a quirky, comic delight that brings to mind early Elmore Leonard" (Booklist). Detroit's Det. Sgt. "Fang" Mulheisen is far from home and hunting for his seemingly unkillable nemesis, a hired gun named Joe Service, who survived a gunshot to the head and escaped a hospital with the help of his beguiling nurse.
