Hi, I'm Honey West, and I can find myself up to my neck in trouble on the simplest cast—but on this one I'm in trouble below the neck, too, 'cause it sends me to place where everyone goes naked, and I have to pretend to fit right in.

It all starts when my current flame, a hunky but surprisingly sensitive LA Rams quarterback, is found flattened—right into the asphalt by a steamroller. And when the police start to investigate, guess whose photo they find in a frame next to his bed? That makes me their number one suspect, and I have to work fast to uncover the real killer before I'm thrown in jail on the charge for which there is no bail.

But how fast can I work when I barely get my car out of the garage and am giving it the gas, when I find it (and I) are swarming with tarantulas?

Next, the trail leads to a hot Italian actress, a real bombshell who set out for what she thought would be a relaxing weekend at a nudist colony, and ended up dead, hanging from a tree and the grass below soaked with her blood. I get a client there, because the owner swears they are an innocent bunch of nature lovers, and pays me to find whoever is responsible for the movie star's death.

Then a guy tries to run me off the road on the way back. There's nothing unusual about that—but this one's a super hunk and totally naked! Soon I get knocked over the head, captured, tied up, threatened with torture and rape, and even tossed off a cliff. Plus I keep waking up next to dead people. I know I'll have to think fast, move faster—and solve it at the point of a gun—if I'm going to survive this case.
