Velda, Girl Detective

My name is Velda Bellinghausen. I’m a private investigator. I used to be a showgirl at Slotnik’s Follies, but I got pretty sick and tired of shedding my clothes twice a day, four times on weekends for matinees.

Velda Bellinghausen, showgirl turned private eye, must clear a tormented teenage girl of a charge of murder---when even her client confesses to having committed the brutal crime. From the seedy alleys of Greenwich Village to the glamorous penthouse studios of famous pinup artists to the fetid swamps of the Florida Keys, Velda pursues what only she believes is the truth
