After Velda’s disappearance, Mike Hammer has fallen into a hard, lonely life of heavy drinking and homelessness, having avoided taking a case for seven years. When an old police friend, Pat Chambers, reaches out to enlist his help on a case tied to a murdered senator, Hammer finds himself drawn back into the dangerous world he thought he left behind. The request carries a personal sting: Chambers and Hammer were both in love with Velda, and that long-ago heartbreak still lingers between them as they set out to uncover the truth.
