Description
Targeted by thugs, a wrestling impresario reaches out to an old friend
When
Otto Lidke got a tryout in pro football, he hired a lawyer friend named
Jim Raiford to handle his contract. The negotiations were bungled,
forcing both men into a career change. Trying to start a pro wrestling
circuit in Denver, Lidke runs afoul of the national federation, which
does everything it can—legal and otherwise—to stamp out his new venture.
When shady business practices escalate into threats on his life, Lidke
calls on Raiford, now a private investigator, to dig up some dirt on the
men who are trying to put him out of business.
But
instead he gets Raiford’s daughter, Julie—a whip-smart sleuth looking to
prove she’s every bit as savvy as her father. As Julie and her dad dig
into the vicious world of small-time wrestling, they find that though
the fights may be fixed, the danger is all too real.
