In the rough, tough world where predatory young beauty queens
compete fiercely for money, a murder is committed. Police Constable
Peter Lassington is soon enmeshed in a complicated mystery - a
mystery made more than usually exotic by the acreage of young
feminine flesh that is continuously on show at the Star Bowl
ballroom, rehearsing for the contest at which the St. Valentine
prizes will be awarded. Lassington's superior, the officer in
charge of the case, is Superintendent Ironside. Ironside - polite,
sophisticated, devious - is somewhat sceptical about the charms of
the young ladies: his thoughts roam forward to his imminent
retirement. This detective novel is carefully plotted and firmly
set in a world of bizarre values - values that do not appeal to
Ironside, the most striking police detective to appear in fiction
for some time. The naked competition of the adolescent beauty
queens provides the background to a strange and exciting murder
novel, with a surprise ending.
