Synopsis

"I WILL KILL THE LADY TONIGHT AT 8. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?" That's what the letter read. Was she that new hooker in town, the one who let her clients rape her like a lady? Or Lady Jay Astor, the sensual, bawdy songstress, who belted out the porno in extremely good taste? Or Mrs Bannister, a socialite mother who kept the purse strings too tight? Twelve hours to find a crank or stop a killer. And there would be no second chances for 'The Lady' if the boys of the 87th didn't guess right...
