A CRIME REPORTER INVESTIGATES THE CASE OF THE DEADLY DO-GOODER!

\\n

While Mike Lanson, reporter for the Gazette, was checking up on Clarence Proost, director of the Anti-Vice League, Proost was slain. There was a strip-tease dancer named Luzy who thought that "maybe" she murdered him. The police thought so too, but Mike didn\'t so he helped her hide out, hoping for the bigger story to break.

\\n

All the gangsters in town didn\'t care who killed whom, all they wanted were the blackmail files Luzy had in hiding with her. With everyone on the merry-go-round of murder, Mike knew the odds were high against the real kingpin of crime showing his head\\u2014but he was willing to risk his own as well as Luzy\'s to headline that story!

\\n

"Corruption in a small town, with only a hard-boiled town newspaper reporter interested enough to nose around and find out who\\u2019s behind it. The police handicapped by either a lack of will or a lack of evidence, and probably both. Dead is an anti-vice crusader who the owner of the newspaper believes is not beyond profiting from a little bit of shakedown on the side himself. A good-looking girl and strip-tease dancer named Luzy McGuire \\u2014 not only involved, but as Lanson also soon begins to learn, the key to his entire investigation. I needn\\u2019t tell you more." \\u2014Mystery File
