One bodyguard, thirty days: how long would you survive?

Marty Cockren, ex-newspaper man and rookie private detective, was offered the chance to earn big money acting as bodyguard to beautiful young widow Eve Chounet.

She was due to inherit a huge fortune from her late and unlamented business tycoon husband—but only if she remained alive for thirty days, whilst delivering his portrait paintings to each of his companies.

But the principals of some of those companies were hell-bent on her murder—together with Marty himself, and his lawyer girlfriend Nancy Summers, who had rashly elected to help him.

The chase to stay alive led from a mansion in Los Angeles to the desert along the Mexican border and could only end in one way—a very dead heat!
