THE WOLF OF THE WEST COAST
Lew Millar, a famous private eye from California is hired by Nick Nemo, an old American who has been living in Lisbon for the past 20 years. He's travelling in France and wants Millar to assure his personal safety. His life is in danger: a few days earlier someone tried to bump him off. Millar hasn't acted as anyone's personal bodyguard for a very long time and isn't about to start again. But something else, something personal, prompts him to take the case. It occurred 25 years earlier when he stopped over in Paris for three days on his way back from Vietnam. What happened to Mai, daughter of his dead friend, a decorated American officer killed in Saigon? Mai had fled the war with her French mother. And what link can there be to Harry Nemo, Nick's brother, whom Millar seems to recognize even if Harry himself pretends otherwise? Behind the electrified fence of his seaside estate Millar and Harry find Nick mortally wounded. The American dies in his brother's arms: now Millar needs no longer play bodyguard; he has a real investigation to carry out, a real case to solve. But this isn't the kind of case that gets buried in the back pages next to the classifieds. Through the complicated women of Harry's world -- his wife, Mme Nemo, an ex-policewoman who picked Harry up when he was down and wants to make sure he doesn't slide; and his sexy stepdaughter Jeanne, who has been "kept" by her "uncle" Nick for several years -- Millar gets to meet Mai, now a beautiful young Paris magistrate whose presence at Nick's funeral needs some explaining...
