| Description: | A tough, timely, behind-the-scenes novel of the racketeer-ridden music business.
He was just another week-end crooner in a cheap dive when The Syndicate spotted him. In a matter of months, courtesy of the special build-up and that special innocent sex appeal that sets the teen-age chicks afire, Mickey Denton was the hottest thing in the best rooms in Vegas, Miami and on the juke boxes. He was cut up more ways than a hamburger. He didn't make a move, any move, without asking The Boys. But Mickey was A Star. He kept telling himself nothing's more important that that, not even a soul. Most of the time he even managed to believe it.—book cover [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Kane, Frank
Frank Kane was born on July 19, 1912 in Brooklyn, New York. He quit law school to get a job because he was starting a family. He worked variously as an editor, in public relations for the liquor industry, and as a columnist publicizing movie stars visiting the city. He moved on to writing scripts for several radio crime shows, including The Shadow for six years. In 1947, he wrote his first crime novel featuring his signature private eye Johnny Liddell. Some 40 Johnny Liddell novels and many Liddell short stories for the pulps followed. Johnny Liddell has been described as an enjoyably generic 1950s hardboiled detective who did not age with time but rather changed with the tastes of his readers. Kane also wrote for television and worked on the series Special Agent 7, The Investigators, and Mike Hammer. He died unexpectedly on November 29, 1968 at the age of 56 in Manhasset, New York.
