A Lefty Bruder Private Detective Story

Holly Day, a long-time prostitute, was murdered and her index finger was taken by the killer. Another victim of the Finger Snatcher? This serial killer is running amok in St. Louis, killing prostitutes and taking a finger souvenir.

Holly Day was a close friend of his since they were children. But what can a one-armed ex-cop do to find the killer?
