She was the kind of woman a man always noticed, mostly because of her eyes: deep and dark, they'd held a warmth that could easily kindle a fire in one's soul. Now they were staring sightlessly up from the sidewalk. It was a killing without a motive, just the first of a string of murders that led Johnny Merak, private investigator, from the teeming underworlds of Chicago and Los Angeles to the edge of the New Mexican desert, trailing a killer who left no clues. But Merak knew the Mafia, its methods and its hiding places—because he'd once been part of that scene himself. And now he was determined to exterminate the evil bosses who controlled the...SAVAGE CITY!

The second great hard-boiled entry in a long-running crime series!
