 Professional killer Gav Reed commits a grave mistake allowing himself to be videotaped (as she always does, for a documentary she hopes to sell to Hollywood about the real nocturnal  eldest business  there) by Julie Spencer, one of Max  Slim  Reuter s hookers and porn actresses, whom he had sex with before - and while making a most incriminating call about his murder attempt at a high society campaign party for mayor Garland s electoral challenger Mary Washington, where the bullet is however caught by councilor Frank Constantine, who also survives. Gav s client, businessman Ian Hunter, who was videotaped earlier, has his girl Marina shoot Gav and then Julie, later Slim who. Rough but effective police detective Killian investigates, helped by Julie s friend Carly Marsh, and unravels even more sordid connections.
