Abstract
Chick Rosenthal, a “Clean Jew” who for decades ran illegal gambling—not drugs or prostitution—hires private investigator Carroll Dorsey to find Nadine Jackson, his old flame from the Hill District who was also singer Lena Horne’s sister. The connections are much deeper than Dorsey suspects.
