When his protŽgŽ Alan Brandon disappears and the body is found mutilated, everyone concludes that Iron Joe SuarezÕ ÔsonÕ is deadÑexcept Iron Joe. Alan Brandon is worth a million dollars a year to the Hatchet gang.
So Joe calls on the best skip tracer in South Florida to find the truth. Molly Orwell, ex-policewoman and finder of missing persons, will take on the job, at the risk of Ògetting my head blow off.Ó What Iron Joe doesnÕt know is that Molly has strong feelings for Alan Brandon. She locates him only to find out he is infatuated with another woman. If she tells Joe where Alan is, he is as good as dead.
So she tries to give back JoeÕs money. The next thing Alan (now called Ron) hears, are MollyÕs screams as sheÕs tied to a chair and being beaten. Joe commands Alan to return, threatening otherwise heÕll torture Molly to death. Alan knows if he goes back heÕll be murdered along with Molly, but he goes back anyway, hoping to save Molly.
