Beautiful Annie Boone is found murdered and lying on the floor of a liquor store with four bullet holes in her body. As Detective Steve Carella investigates the suspects, he finds a pattern of contradiction. Annie's ex-husbands says that she was a drunkard while her best friend swore Annie never touched a drop of liquor. One boyfriend claims that she was a very genteel lady while another said she was a frequent visitor of dingy pool halls. What kind of girl was Annie, and who exactly was she?
