About this ebook
It's March 2, 1933. King Kong is premiering at Radio City Music Hall, and Fay Wray is about to become the most famous actress on earth. So what's she doing hanging around a rundown Manhattan speakeasy? This Hollywood scream queen has come to see Jimmy Quinn, a limping tough guy who knows every gangster in New York—and does his best to steer clear of them all. A blackmailer has pictures of a Fay Wray lookalike engaged in conduct that would make King Kong blush, and Fay's movie studio—with the cooperation of a slightly corrupt NYPD detective—wants the threat eliminated. Jimmy tries to settle the matter quietly, but stopping the extortion will cut just as deeply as Fay's famous scream, ringing from Broadway all the way to Chinatown. Jimmy and Fay is the 3rd book in the Jimmy Quinn Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like the black and white movies of the early thirties, life would be nothing without the many shades of gray. There are good guys and gals and there are bad in this book, but most of the characters are varying shades of gray. The main character, Jimmy Quinn, lives his life just outside the edge of the law. Jimmy is a man of small stature with a gimpy leg, but he has built a reputation as a man to be reckoned with. He owns a speakeasy in New York that caters to the rich and famous as well as the rich and dangerous. Jimmy’s reputation as a dependable go between has even reached the ears of Hollywood starlet, Fay Wray. Her first big movie, King Kong is just premiering on the silver screen in New York, where Jimmy has been one of the first to catch the opening. She comes to Jimmy’s speakeasy with a retinue of lawyers and hangers on, seeking his help to get her out from under a blackmailer’s dirty thumb. Jimmy already has his hands full with his girl friend Connie in a snit over something that he can’t figure out. What’s on more dame with a problem? Besides he can sure use the six hundred dollar retainer she is offering. With his street smarts it shouldn’t be too hard to track down a blackmailer with dirty pictures purporting to be of the luscious Fay Wray. The hard part is trying to figure out why his girl is giving him the cold shoulder. This is a very entertaining book loaded with the vernacular and idioms of the thirties, which bring this exciting time to life. Book provided for review by Amazon Vine.
