Private Investigator Eddie Gideon is jolted awake with two guns in his face and a dead body on his bed. He's naked, handcuffed, and has no memory of what happened to the woman he loves. He must prove his innocence despite divided loyalties within the police department and a district attorney with a personal vendetta against him.

But nobody's better at finding the truth than Eddie. He'll discover she was nothing more than an illusion-a lie dressed in silk stockings and pumps, with a fiancé on the side-behind a plot for corruption, greed, murder, and the oldest of sins. Something so scandalous you'll need to take TWO FOR THE PAIN.
