Los Angeles private eye Antonio "Chico" Cervantes returns, caring for a pregnant prostitute, Alicia, and taking a job guarding Ursula Toller, a film director's spoiled daughter, from kidnappers
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Cook's second caper featuring private eye Chico Cervantes is standard fare, its only break with tradition the Mexican background and perspective of the hero. Ex-cop Cervantes is hired to guard a headstrong young German woman, daughter of a world-famous movie producer. Someone is intent upon delaying or destroying her father's latest project and seems willing to kill to achieve those ends. A major industrial investigations firm is somehow involved, as is a vicious street gang. Chico is also concerned about Alicia, the pregnant prostitute who saved his life during his first adventure ( Mexican Standoff ) and now shares his life. This novel is like its hero: competent but basically ordinary.
