Find This Woman

Published October 1966
Shell Scott. He’s a guy with a pistol in his pocket and murder on his mind. The crime world’s public enemy number one, this Casanova is a sucker for a damsel in distress. When a pair of lovely legs saunters into his office, he can’t help but take the job, even when the case is a killer. There are way too many dames knocking at Shell’s door, all saying they are the same woman. Not that Shell minds a private Las Vegas harem, but they are really complicating this case. He has his hands full peeling each woman’s mask, but Shell can handle it. It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. He’s going to find this broad or die trying.
