Fang Mulheisen, Detroit police detective extraordinaire, is back - this time on a mission to the high, dusty plains of Montana, where Helen Sedlacek seems to have surfaced. Readers of Jackson's Hit on the House (Canongate Crime) will recall that Helen, daughter of the late, hardly lamented, Mafia don 'Big' Sid Sedlacek, exacted vengeance for her father's murder by chopping down the leader of the Detroit mob with a 12-gauge and then disappeared with a truckload of stolen cash. Now, months later, a man fitting the description of Joe Service - Helen's lover and Mulheisen's long-time underworld nemesis - arrives in a Montana hospital in a coma, having been shot in the face at close range. Then Mario Soper, a mob hit man with an open contract on Joe, turns up dead in an up-country irrigation ditch. Where is Helen? Who whacked Mario? Did Mario shoot Joe? Where is all the money? These are the questions Mulheisen asks himself as he flies to Montana to investigate
