Crime Smashers #12

Detective Ray Hale investigates the death of a woman at a theatrical hotel, discovering clues involving actress Ginger Ross and a casting notice. Two acrobatic performers, Jet Jennings and another woman, fall from the same building within days of each other under suspicious circumstances, leading Hale to suspect foul play rather than accidents. A magician named Tony Vann becomes involved in the case, with his nephew Pete Drake suggesting that Vann's jilted ex-girlfriend may be seeking revenge. The investigation reveals a conspiracy involving the theatrical world that Hale works to expose and stop.
