Blood Alley

New York in the 1940's was a wide-open town. In the city of Swing Street, Frank Costello and the Stork Club, everything was for sale, including it's people. Into this arena steps Patrick Grimes, a World War II veteran who works the graveyard shift for The New Yorker Examiner, one of the city's brassiest tabloids. Late one night, Grimes learns that a watchman has found the body of a young woman in a squalid section of the tenements and breweries by the East River, and races to investigate. The victim turns out to be Amanda Price, the eldest daughter of one of Manhattan's wealthiest men. Grimes can't help but wonder what would draw such a woman to that part of town.
