Strip Search — Rex Burns

The strip was never the safest place to work--and then the murders began

The grisly slayings of two exotic dancers were shocking even on Denver's strip, where topless bars, all-night diners, and furtive street life were the norm. Detective Gabe Wager knows that the only way to get to the bottom of the crime is to become part of the street scene, so, disguising himself as a drug dealer, Gabe begins to zero in on the killer. But in a world without rules, everyone is in jeopardy, and as Gabe penetrates the dark and violent underworld, he learns firsthand about the lives of the people who inhabit it--and the conflicts of the cops who police it.
