## Description

Joe LaBrava is a photographer documenting the street life of Miami. But before he was a photographer, he was a Secret Service agent. And before that he was a twelve-year-old boy, crazy in love with movie star Jean Shaw. When his pal Maurice Zola asks for his help in sorting out a problem for a friend, and that friend turns out to be the now-retired Jean Shaw, LaBrava's all in - even when the problem in question is blackmail.
