Casey, Crime Photographer – The Lady In Distress. 471023.

On the nightclub scene in the big city, an odd character appears in the form of a man wearing the clothes of a Texas cowhand. The trusting man is taken in by a female crook, but when he falls in with Casey, the two set out to track down the con woman. The more juicy details they learn along the way, the more Casey wants to sink his teeth into Mary Belle Warren, and the big story that is laying under the surface.

For a woman’s touch, Casey calls in the help of Ann Williams.

Before it’s done, there’s going to be car chases, missing persons to rescue, and some gangsters to rough up. Who is Mary Belle, or Lottie, or whoever she is? As Casey digs through the underworld, the truth emerges over who is innocent, and who is victimized.

In the Blue Note, Casey, and Ann tell Ethylbert all about the secrets of the racketeers.
