Mina Davis, private investigator, is hired to find missing nineteen-year-old Rose Scott. Her only clue leads her instead to a badly wounded yakuza thug. Now, if Mina’s to have any hope of finding the missing girl, she’ll have to keep the gangster alive long enough to convince him to help her. Unfortunately, with both the police and the yakuza looking for him, that might be easier said than done.
Making matters worse, Mina’s gunshot new friend remains stubbornly to his criminal family, in spite of the bullets they put in him. On top of that, he’s condescending, rude, and generally just sort of an asshole… and very likely a killer.
Worst of all, that makes him pretty much exactly Mina’s type.
