The Golden Creep

Mystery writer George Bagby has an instinct for trouble. But when he wanders into a nightclub called The Topless Towers — for no better reason than that he's intrigued by the name — Bagby finds himself in the biggest trouble of his life. On his first night at the club, he meets a strange cast of characters: the Topless Towers chorus line, a comedian who calls himself "The Face," a menacing wrestler, and affluent customer Paul Peters, The Golden Creep. Peters, who richly deserves his nickname, aoe^ift take very kindly to the writer, and Bagby finds himself waylaid at gunpoint. The incident fizzles out, and Bagby leaves the club — but he doesn't get very far. He wakes up the next morning in the Topless Towers vvith the very dead body of Paul Peters lying next to him .
