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!
