As long as the cash was cold and the trail was hot, bounty hunter Lou Prophet would run his quarry to the ground. He loved his work -- it kept him in wine and women, and was never, ever dull. And his latest job sounds particularly attractive. Her name is Lola Diamond. She's a showgirl, and a prime witness in a murder trial that's going on without her. Prophet is supposed to find and "escort" her to the courthouse, whether she likes it or not. But some very dangerous men are moving to make sure the pair never reaches the courthouse alive.
