It’s a hot and sultry day in the gritty city, and Sam Shovel has a dead man sprawled in her office, stabbed in the back with a yardstick. Ends up this is just the first of a string of murders happening in the fashion industry. Though no one would ever think of Sam having anything to do with high fashion, it’s up to the private eye to follow the connecting thread and sew up the case.
