Detective Gideon Strong is a man who attracts the wrong kinds of women when he isn't looking for trouble. In Gideon's Strumpet, he finds Mayo Montez, a hardscrabble woman with a soft boiled heart, trying to sleep her way out of the gutter up to a middle-class house in a better end of town. And maybe into a Colonial or even a Dutch Colonial with a cabana and an in-ground pool. "What's a girl like you driving an Oldsmobile sedan?" Gideon wonders. When he find a copy of the latest issue of Town and Country Magazine in the maid's room, he knows that every dog has its day, and every dame has a bone to pick with her master. All this and more will be revealed when things come to a head at midnight, New Year's Eve.
