Mike Shayne has 2 hours to solve a murder--or else watch his lover die It's 2 hours before midnight when the woman in room 360 calls the front desk to report a murder. The house detective sprints upstairs, but finds room 360 totally empty: no killer, no victim, and no woman begging for help. Across town, Mike Shayne is driving back to his office after a romantic evening with Lucy Hamilton. Despite the quiet and the moonlight, in his bones he knows that this is not a night for romance. There's death in the air. Later, a woman appears at Shayne's office, claiming her brother was murdered at the Hibiscus Hotel.

Before Miami Vice, there was Michael Shayne's Miami. Shayne was everything you could want in a private eye. Big, redheaded, and known all over town, Shayne was the original knight in shining armor, helping gorgeous damsels in distress. Davis Dresser wrote under the byline Brett Halliday that he wrote nearly fifty Mike Shayne novels before ghost writers wrote another 27 novels.
This particular novel has an incredibly fast-moving plot. All the action takes place on a single evening - before the stroke of midnight.
There's something here for everyone. Violence for the men readers and a romance with secretary Lucy Hamilton for the female readers. Mysterious clients show up on Shayne's doorstep, ruining their date. Murder, missing corpses, mistaken identity and more fill out this novel. ( )
