About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Schutz's fourth sizzler starring private eye Leo Haggerty takes him from Washington, D.C., to a lush if lethal tropic isle. Leo has hired rock promoter Nick Ballantine to guard singer/lyricist Jane "Doe," nee Summers, the target of an unknown murderer. Checking on members of Jane's group, the Pleasure Principle, the detective finds them insisting she accept a lucrative offer against her "artistic" principles. The lead guitarist, Axel (Axeman), Jane's ex-lover, is her most bitter opponent. It is, however, not Axeman but his new girlfriend who attacks Jane and wounds Leo. Believing the danger past, the grateful singer invites the detective to join her on an island in the Carribbean. He hopes to become a friend to the young woman he now sees as lost and lonely. But the faceless enemy follows, turning the vacation into a terror-filled time and harrowing the reader's nerves, right up to the story's last split second.

From Library Journal:

Series investigator Leo Haggerty (A Tax in the Blood) agrees to work in Washington, D.C., as private bodyguard for rock singer Jane Doe (Savannah Jane Summers), who has received threatening letters. After barely escaping death at the hands of a jealous singer, Jane and Leo fly to the Caribbean, where she ponders a recording contract and he thinks about taking a desk job. Trouble follows, however, ultimately tied to the mob-connected recording offer. Despite a singular flatness of plot and lack of surprise, an invasive tension and well-grounded characters make this an enjoyable series addition.-- REK
