How did Donald Lam get all the dames? He was just a brainy little guy, but he had the damnedest way with women …The blondes melted like wax. "You’re the first guy who’s given me a break" said one. "Kiss me." Lam kissed her. "To hell with that stuff, " she said. "Really kiss me."She was only the first – but even the busiest lady’s man has to take time out for murder, especially when he’s been too chummy with a corpse and the cops are out for blood … his blood.
