Cookie Baker didnt expect to be shot at, knocked unconscious and to wind up wearing such a poor fashion accessory as an old red and black football helmet (to keep from hitting her head again.) Nor had she expected her mark-a criminal defense attorney-to have secreted something too horrible to think about within his car. Suspecting the wife might be framing the husband, Lucky warns Cookie to drop the case. But a childs involved and Cookie cant back off until she knows the girl is safe. And where Cookie and Fluff go the crazy sharpshooter cowboy goes. As Cookie digs deeper, Albuquerque explodes into extraordinary and escalating violence. Lucky gets pulled into the crosshairs and Cowboy gets hurt trying to save his best buddy. Fluff also receives her own GSW before a psycho takes out innocent by-standers and cops as collateral damage. Breaking stilettos at a rapid clip, Cookie evades her own share of bullets, bombs and butcher knives as she seeks to flush the killer into the light. The only thing she has left to do is face her fear of being underground and come face-to-face with unspeakable evil.
