Publisher: Corinth Publications, San Diego[cover reads by J. X. Williams, a house name for Corinth, however the inside title page states Wood’s real name. Original title was reported as 69 Rue Pigalle. The story follows Parisian Inspector Goulet tracking down the killer of a number of strippers on the Rue Morgue. He brings in Texas man Sherriff Buck Rhodes and female impersonator Lorraine Peters for assistance. Page 79: "Buck poured his glass full from the second bottle of wine. It was apparent from the tensions in the room that the unruly, sex-crazed mob wanted action and they wanted it now. They had been kept waiting too long already. They hadn’t come down to the cellar just to sit around contemplating their own belly buttons. Their whole idea was to contemplate someone else’s belly button."] Eric Stanton cvr art?
