Meet the dames who'll go arm in arm with a snake.
All the way to murder.
And their corpses die in bed.
The morgue
before breakfast is not Al Wheeler's idea of living it up, but that is
what comes from being an unorthodox cop! This was strictly business, too
many beautiful dolls tattooed with snake sings had been found with
their throats slit.
No Law Against Angels was revised as The Body with the introduction of Carter Brown in the United States in July 1958.
There was only one way a call girl could quit the business, as a corpse.
And the corpses are piling up.

Killers are his business.
Dames as his pleasure.
In this case he tangles with both.
When
hard drinking, quick thinking, California cop Al Wheeler goes gunning
for the murderer of two call girls, he tangles with a luscious blonde, a
big time racketeer, and a well stacked redhead who works in a
fashionable mortuary.
