Take a gritty ride in a gritty town with Iris Grenadine, beat reporter for the Chicago Daily Standard.
It's the summer of 1955. A heat wave has gripped the town, making it ripe for scandal and sizzling romance.
When the mayor's right-hand man is murdered in a compromising position, Iris chases down the story.
She isn't just another pretty face. She's an ambitious journalist with a nose for news. And she's got something to prove. But at every turn, she runs into opposition.
Her publisher orders her to forget the story. Her editor tells her to write a fluff piece about an up-and-coming singer called Elvis Presley. A homicide detective elbows her out of the picture. Her colleagues try to beat her to the punch. A city alderman warns her to mind her own business, or else. Two pistol-packing mobsters have orders to shut her up.
Then there's Richard Starr, a private eye who fancies fast cars and even faster ladies. Not only is he one step ahead of Iris, he holds the world record for pickup lines and sizzling kisses.
After one corpse turns into two, and two corpses turn into three, Iris finds herself looking down the wrong end of a gun barrel.
