<DIV><b>Searching for a chorus girl&rsquo;s stag film, Jack LeVine stumbles on a sinister political plot</b></div><BR><DIV>Like all chorus girls, Kerry Lane yearns to get her name on the marquee. After years of high-kicking, she lands a bit part in a Broadway smash hit which should lead to better things. The only thing holding her back is her past: specifically a series of stag films from her days as a struggling wannabe film starlet. When a blackmailer demands a payoff to keep them out of the public eye, Kerry comes to Jack LeVine. Stocky, sweaty, and bald, LeVine is a Jewish private detective who makes a living by being polite. But underneath his smile lies a bulldog.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Lured by long legs and a roll of crisp twenties, LeVine takes Kerry&rsquo;s case. But before he can speak to the blackmailer, the crook turns up dead. As LeVine hunts for Kerry&rsquo;s pictures, he finds that the heart of this case is even uglier than greed, lust, or murder. It&rsquo;s politics.</div>
