Call girl Lexy Gardner is shot dead, so her mother hires Dan to find out who did it and how Lexy wound up hooking. The case expands to involve singer Eddie Banning, tennis pro Lou Spitz, and contractor William Virgil.
A former call girl tries to call Dan but he's not around. She leaves a message saying it's urgent and when she hangs up she's killed. When Dan learns of her death, he feels responsible. Her mother shows up and asks him to find out what happened to her. He goes to see some men whom she knew and Dan is either offered a bribe or threatened to stop investigating.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
