PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Attention to Books of Interest

Amazon.com: Ladies Night (Fight Card) eBook: Jill Tunney, Jack Tunney, Carol Malone, Paul Bishop: Kindle Store: Los Angeles, 1954 ... Gangsters, crime, boxing – and romance ... 

Jimmy Doherty, a hard-luck orphan from the south side of Chicago, was mentored in the sweet science of boxing by Father Tim Brophy, the Battling Priest of St. Vincent's Asylum for Boys. Jimmy’s fists were good enough to take him to LA where he has begun his rise up the local fight-cards. He has big plans to be a contender and even bigger plans for Lindy – his trainer’s only daughter, who's sweeter than apple pie and harder to resist. 

But when Lindy is arrested for killing a boxer with ties to gangster Mickey Cohen, Jimmy is forced to join forces with the arresting detective – who would like to do much more with Lindy than put her in handcuffs – in a desperate search for the real killer. 

Love can be murder – in the ring and out ...
