Death of a Kootch Show Girl

Its Halloween night 1953 the last night of the carnival in rural Ohio and a stripper turns up dead. Tom Davis the chief of police orders the carnies to stay in town while he investigates but there are no leads to Marys killer--no fingerprints on the murder weapon no blood but Marys at the scene no foreign hairs or fibers--no clues of any kind. Brian Stockton a reporter for the local paper hopes this will be his break into the big time so he begins to investigate as well. But alas the killers identity eludes him too. As tensions build the carnies become paranoid pointing fingers at each other. Could it be the owner Bill Harris the one who discovered the body? Or was it perhaps Gino Guglielmo the man who runs the kootch show and has a nasty temper? Was it the eccentric clown Otto Radowski a man with dark secrets in his past and who just happens to have Marys cat? And how did the killer manage to commit such a violent act without leaving a single speck of evidence? Mary certainly wasnt killed by a ghost...or was she?
