Summary

This is a delightful husband-and-wife collaboration featuring three stories by Max Allan Collins -- including "Catgate", in which a womanizing senator tries to replace his dead mistress with a lookalike -- and four stories by Barbara Collins, who offers "The Inconvenience Store", in which a late-night craving drives a pregnant private eye out to a convenience store and into a hostage situation. And the talented duo conspired on two stories, one titled "Eddie Haskell in a Short Skirt", the story of a father-daughter private eye team who hire an office manager and become the suckers in a scam.
