A Hooker in The Choir

Celeste Howard presents the face of innocence to her serious lover, the world famous physicist, John Colburn, and she runs with the gambling crowd in fringes of the underworld where the biggest of all HMO owners, Dr.Bin Kadsh, an Arabian physician, is manipulating for purchase of a huge nursing home chain belonging to one of her gaming cronies. She gets caught up in the struggle for control and becomes a spy for the gambling syndicate fighting to save itself from the dangerous association with the HMO owner who is suspected of using his American enterprises to launder large sums of money to help finance the terrorist movement. People have been killed and others ruined by efforts to devaluate the homes, for cheaper purchase. The Feds already are beginning to notice, and the town people let John know about the real Celeste. One of them, a lawyer who is a member of the secret government monitoring agency, Pegasus, finds John to be a member also and enlists his aid. Together they use the latest advances in spying and warfare techniques to stop the criminal activity, and John finds his real love in the widow of one of Kadsh's victims. Celeste finds her first real satisfaction in an uneducated savage who surprises her spying in the dark.
