"Bill Knight was of young policemen on his first assignment - a tough one. He moved into vice-ridden Champion Road, where no one knew him, and waited.... At Ma Byles' place he found a room - and a house full of wayward women.... At the local pub he found the voluptuous blonde barmaid - and the brutally murdered body of her father.... In a slum teeming with pimps, prostitutes and petty thieves, Knight was the only member of the force who could learn which of the thieves was also a murderer." - from a blurb on the book
