Chop Chop
The Killer Whore
Russell Hicks is a shy, former librarian working as an out-sourced private eye, now on the case of a lifetime. He has 106 days to track a killer from fifty years in the past, with a ten million dollars bonus on the line.
Russell finds himself caught between two sexually abused women. Elena is a seductive girl from the Chicago streets who welcomes herself to his heart – and his apartment. The second girl awaits his arrival, gun in hand, and is known only by her nickname – Chop-Chop the Killer Whore. To catch the second, he must give up the first.
