Harry Calhoun, a private detective with a booze problem, is trying to get some sleep after a festive evening with several glasses of scotch at his favorite bar in Dallas, Texas. His dreams are usually the same. Visits by ghosts from his Army experience in Vietnam. He is rousted from his nightmares by his across the hall neighbor, building manager and occasional lover, Miriam. She is in near hysteria. A resident of the apartment building has been murdered and she wants Harry to solve the crime. Shaking off the images of the ghosts, he refers her to the police, but she can’t be dissuaded. He reluctantly agrees to “look into it.” The police, who are investigating the case, threaten Harry with jail if he doesn’t cease and desist. More murders occur. The only connection among the victims is the method of death: execution style, one shot between the eyes, another to the throat. Friends of the victims are brought together in their desire for Harry to solve the crimes. So Harry is swept up in a battle of wits with a killer who’s sole objective is to execute the victims. No theft of valuables, no mutilation, no vandalism. Follow Harry on his quest to stop the killer while avoiding jail.
