CASE FILE - MURDER, THE BULLFIGHTER AND THE SYNDICATE OF SIN // Occupation: Private eye // Age: Over 21 // Measurements: 38"- 22" - 36" // Height: 5' 5" // Weight: 120 lbs. // Description: Taffy-colored hair, blue eyes, baby bottom complexion // Identifying Marks: Small birthmark inside of right thigh. // Warning: Usually armed - the nerviest, curviest, brainiest, sexiest private eye ever to pull a trigger, or toss three gangland gorillas overboard singlehanded. // Residence: Los Angeles. // Hi, I'm Honey West, licensed PI. I can't help it if I've got curves and my name is "Honey," can I? Nature gave me the first and my father the second. Then he was murdered and I took over his detective agency to catch his killers. But right not I'm not trying to catch anyone - instead, everyone is trying to catch me. The syndicate sent a squad of killers, who stripped me naked and left me hanging from a tree to die. When I took a swim to cool off someone tried to sink me for good, by loading me down with led weights from the muzzle of a gun. Next some guy in a plane tried to machine gun me from the heavens. Now, cops are looking to fit me for a nice seat in a metal chair - the kind where they flip a switch and its good-bye, Honey! See, I've been framed for murdering a stripper. I've been one - and I sure wouldn't kill one! Who proclaimed it "Kill Honey West Week," and didn't tell me? I don't know, but I sure intend to find out! And when I do, I'll find out who killed my Matador boyfriend. And I' make them pay for it. You can count on that. // // // // The men call me the "private eyeful", and I've blackened a few for it, too. But right now I am lying on the beach in Malibu living the California dream, next to Kirk, a drop-dead gorgeous hunk. But, wouldn't you know it, the dream becomes a nightmare and the hunk is shot through with a speargun and drops dead in front of me! By the time I verify he is non-compos-mentis, whoever fired the speargun is long gone. // Before I can say "Nobody murders one of Momma Honey's boys and gets away with it," Jewel, his stripper sister blurts that she think the other twin did Kirq did in Kirk, my prospective beau. Furthermore she will pay me to prove or disprove it. going to stop me because I'm Honey West and I hunt killers for fun - besides, it's a living! going to // Little do I dream that, before the killer is tracked down, I will have my G-string stolen, be shot at, attacked by a monster on live TV, and be forced to don Jewel's costume and go on stage in her mask and perform her stripping routine when she disappears. But nothing's going to stop me because I hunt killers for fun - besides, it's a living! // Set in, and touched with a bit of, the High-camp 60's, Honey West shows that sometimes the best man for the job is a woman! Honey is a full-fledged pulp fiction detective. Nervy and curvy, she battles her way a maze of deception, chicanery and murder in every book. // "Fans of the hard-hitting and noirish crime and detective fiction that rose to prominence in the 1950s, literary bephews (and nieces) of Philip Marlowe and redheaded step-children of Mike Hammer, will enjoy this gritty and yet still lighthearted foray into crime."
