The Dame's the Game (1960)
Al Fray
Popular Library
Vegas house-dick Barney Conroy has things pretty good--a legit job rousting card cheats from the casino and a "plush-line" redhead with a taste for bourbon. But all of that changes when a blond bombshell begs him to come to L.A. to investigate a roving craps game that's been fleecing her husband out of thousands of dollars. Soon the husband's dead and Barney and the blond are both suspects. A few fistfights. An errant bomb. Some commies. Basic pulp, neither great nor terrible
