'Hello,' she said, wearing a skimpy red negligee meant to barely cover her, and doing a good job of it. 'Can I help you?' When it comes to emotional distress, there's nothing like a mourning widow. And let me tell you, Suzi Biggs was nothing like a mourning widow. She was more like a morning window. I could see right through her. Welcome to Testacy City, a seedy desert town where Ben Drake - a detective with a passion for small cigars and Old Grand-Dad and a weakness for women in trouble - is hired to dig up the who and why behind the brutal murder of local bowling hero Gentleman Joe Biggs.
