About this ebook

The Wild West is not your regular western movie but it is wild! Any movie that involves four beautiful starlets without any clothes is bound to be wild and to attract the attention of Shell Scott, P.I., especially if one of the girls is thought to have been murdered. It is up to Scott to go on location where the film is being shot and determine whether or not her death was an accident. He must also keep himself out of danger, what with the girls--and with the men who are trying to take his life.

The Cockeyed Corpse is the 26th book in the Shell Scott Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
