The central figure, Lacy Lockington, is a cop suspended from the force in Chicago when columnist "Stella Starbright" dubs him a kill-crazy officer, more dangerous than the crooks he shoots. Approached by Duke Denny, a private detective, Lockington agrees to replace Moose Katzenbach, who is quitting Denny's agency.
