Lemmy Caution is a Federal dick, a graduate of the school of hard fists, hard drinks and dubious wisecracks. He is investigating a counterfeiting case mixed with a suspect suicide that originated in New York and brings him in the opening scene to the hot desert outside Palm Springs. The period is somewhere around 1930, give or take a couple of years. He's also got a really big chip on his shoulder: DAMES! According to his book, they are all devious, tricksy, dangerous, lying, impulsive, etc., etc., etc. Lemmy even has a theme song he likes to whistle as he drives around the desert investigating one clue after another.--Algernon at Goodreads.
