New York: Random House, (1991) dj. Hardcover first edition - An offbeat crime thriller introducing Mike Wilson, a handsome young Episcopalian priest who leaves his rural parish in Nebraska to cover his brother's business in New York City when he goes missing. "Mike leaves his librarian fiancee Kay behind, finds himself hiring and firing topless dancers at the Smoking Car (Mano handles all this flesh marvelously, does a knockout documentary on topless dancers as professionals), and ends up knee-deep in money, hoods, drug sales, dancers, and then blood as in succession four of his dancers are murdered, three of them on the stage itself (one is beheaded)."
