Andy Sorrell, a syndicate muscle-man, was sent to the West Coast to find the men who had robbed a New Jersey bank of a half million dollars. His contact turned out to be a pansy night club owner whose sex-starved wife cooperated with Andy in more ways than he had counted on. First paragraph(s): ANYONE COULD TELL at first glance that Brace Lilly was a fairy. His smooth skin and neat little lips just didn't sit right on my stomach, and the rest of those goons he had standing around his desk looked just as queer as he did, the only difference being those stiff hunks poking out under the armpits of their dinner jackets.
