Gloria must ascertain why people around her are dying, each one involved with a past mutual acquaintance. She investigates and hunts throughout The City.

Just north of Lake Okeechobee in central Florida, Brad Dolan’s Ford goes bad. He pulls in for repairs, finds a sack for the night, then goes out for a drink and maybe some action with the dice...

Down here, Dolan finds out, a man can be rubber-hosed for buying a drink for a blonde who’s made a pass at him.
