Description
Simone Kirsch aka Vivien Leigh is sexy, funny and intelligent.
And she needs it all as she goes undercover, stripping at the table dancing club, The Red Room, to find out who killed the sleazy owner, Francesco 'Frank' Parisi. It's the only way to get her best friend Chloe back from Frank's underworld brother Sal who says he'll kill her unless Simone can come up with the real murderer.
After graduating top of her private investigators course and working in a peepshow, Simone has a few tricks up her sleeve ... and she's never been afraid of getting herself into sticky situations. But now she's tangling with the city's most corrupt cop, some crazy strippers and a rockabilly band called Las Vegas Grind.
A criminally witty romp on the sexy side of the mean streets.
