About
It's a crime that Times Square dives aren't private investigator Chip Harrison's usual hangouts. Tulip Willing is the star attraction at the Treasure Chest-and also Chip's newest client. It seems she wants cover for a mysterious stranger … who's been scaring her out of her clothes. As he waits for his client to finish her set, Cherry Bounce, another dancer at the Treasure Chest, is shot dead during the performance. Chip finds himself on the trail of a killer who's eager to trap the street-wise detective-and strip him of his livelihood forever.

"A wickedly funny parody of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin series…There are zingers that will have you hitting pause until you stop laughing…A delight."
Library Journal (starred review)
"A would-be Nero Wolfe solves a murder involving an ichthyologist who moonlights as a topless dancer. As related by his would-be Archie Goodwin, the story is very funny, well written, and nicely read. Gregory Gorton has the perfect sound for the young, sarcastic chronicler. His swagger is a teenager's bluff, his wisecracks made funnier by his youth and pretended toughness."
