Pete came home from Naval Reserve duty unattached and fancy free, looking for a woman. He found Myra, the syndicate boss' wife - off limits to any man who wanted to stay alive; Serena, who could make love with no restraints - and kill in the same uninhibited way; and Clemi, who was willing to run away with him - after he helped her brother shoot his way out of jail.

He had learned in the Navy about handling high explosives - but no one had prepared him for the kind of dynamite that came in a well-stacked feminine package!
