Synopsis: Longarm’ll have to pay some lip service to this sassy señorita!
When two prominent politicos turn up dead, one self-righteous Arizona town pins it on the local madame, “Big Lips” Lilly, faster than she can say “not guilty.” So Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long hurries on down to ensure that justice is carried out. Unfortunately, Longarm’s train ride down to Williams, Arizona, takes a mite longer than it should, what with three murderers on board—and an avalanche on the train tracks. But Longarm reckons he can pass the time, seeing as how one pretty traveler is paying a pretty penny to share a berth with him.
Once he reaches Williams, time is almost up for lovely “Big Lips” Lilly—and Longarm still has some snooping to do before he’ll call the case closed: it seems that both of the deceased had some unfinished business with the Pink Lady Saloon. And Longarm, for one, would like to find out how this lady of the night earned such a strange name…
