A small-town girl goes undercover in a big city nightclub to prove her father's innocence in this murder mystery from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.

The Corsairs Club sits high atop the Allegheny Building in New York City's Times Square. Owned by Big Joe Carozzo, the cabaret nightclub is a great spot for music, dancing, and gambling, and it boasts the city's finest spaghetti, ravioli, and of course, bootleg liquor. Although it's a bit of a dive, the club is frequented by the best people. Unfortunately, they sometimes bring the worst people with them . . .

Spots Larkin has a hot diamond he's looking to sell. Anthony Sommers, Carozzo's lawyer, is arranging the purchase of the stone in the club's private den. But the deal goes sour during a wild dance number. Larkin is found dead, and the diamond is missing. Suspicion falls on Sommers when he's discovered passed out drunk on the roof, and the once famous lawyer is unable to keep himself out of jail.

Meanwhile Sommers's daughter, Molly, vows to prove his innocence. Going undercover, she leaves her small town behind for the big city and takes a job as the club's newest singer. Somewhere in the whirl of chorus girls, band music, gangsters, and bootleggers, Molly hopes to uncover the evidence to clear her father's name. But one false note could blow her cover and land her in deadly trouble . . .

Originally published in 1929.
