"Happy Doll is a thoroughly likeable, if occasionally inexpert, private detective living a cliff's drop beneath the Hollywood sign. He supplements his meager income by working security at a local Thai spa, which offers a range of 'special services'. Armed with a sixteen-inch steel telescopic baton and a bit of a hero complex, Doll sets out to protect the women who work there from clients who have trouble understanding the word 'no'. One evening, Doll shoots an aggressive client who has powerful political connections. Bloodied and reeling from the episode, Doll finds things have taken an even more dangerous turn when an old friend shows up a this door with a bullet in his gut."--Publisher.
