Circe

Los Angeles, 1957. Frankie is a mechanic and a thief who stole from the wrong man and lived long enough to disappear. He does it in his sister's name, her papers, and a face a doctor built to match - Claire, a blonde with a nipped waist, a practiced smile, and a dentist who cannot believe his luck. A week from the altar, with his mother-in-law in the spare room and Costello's people still on the street, Claire has to walk through beauty parlours, church pews, and fittings like a girl who wants the life she is wearing.

When a Pacific World stewardess vanishes off the Havana sleeper, private detective Ray Corrigan takes a case only his locked trunk can crack: undercover as a woman. As Judy Olsen, a bubbly Florida transfer squeezed into Laura Scott's own uniform, he works the aisle from rainy Los Angeles to Mexico City and Havana - girdle checks, powder-room drops, a co-pilot who keeps his distance, and a man in a coat who watches everything.

In rainy 1950s Los Angeles, private detective Ray Corrigan makes his living working undercover as a woman. When a matinee idol is blackmailed over a photograph that could end him, Ray takes the job - first as Sissy Moore, a peppy redheaded wardrobe girl with pins on her wrist and eyes open, then as Roxy Hart, a platinum bombshell in a dress with nowhere to hide. On the lot he learns the clothes, the marks, and the price of looking at the truth. Off it he walks champagne rooms, Soviet shadows, and the kind of desire that doesn't care what the gossip papers would call him. There's no business like it.

In a city of smoke-filled jazz bars and pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms, private detective Ray Corrigan makes his living disappearing into nylon, silk and satin. When a widow hires him to look into her husband's fall from a sixth-floor window, he goes in as Violet - a blonde with a figure to die for - at a boarding house on Sycamore Street that calls itself a home for young women. Caught between amorous clients, a persistent reporter whose hands keep reaching for her zipper, and the desperate need to solve the case without getting exposed, Violet must keep her balance before one slip of her cover ruins everything.

In a rainy city of closed doors and careful performances, private detective Ray Corrigan makes his living by disappearing into women's clothes. When a worried wife hires him to learn whether her husband is cheating at a glossy advertising agency, Ray becomes Rita - blonde, corseted, and placed inside the typing pool as a temporary secretary. What begins as a quiet look at late nights and client dinners hardens into stolen secrets, murder, and an office where pretty girls are hired for more than their shorthand.

On a quiet street of white shutters and manicured lawns, private detective Ray Corrigan takes a job no ordinary investigator can handle. A suburban wife is certain her husband is unfaithful - until the late-night drives and locked study reveal something colder. To get close, Ray becomes Margaret Hale: war widow, soft-spoken neighbour, every curve locked into place beneath shaping foundations and a modest house dress. What begins as domestic surveillance draws him into a protection racket, a private club, and too many secrets.

When burlesque headliner Vivian Delacroix vanishes from the Orpheum Revue and the official story refuses to hold, Ray is hired to find her. To get inside the house he becomes Rita Vale -- laced into corsets, sequins, and the punishing physical demands of the chorus line. What begins as a missing-persons case draws him into blackmail, political corruption, and a private upstairs world where powerful men buy silence with more than money.

In the rain-slicked shadows of a city that never sleeps, private detective Ray Corrigan has a specialty no other operative on the West Coast can match: the ability to become someone else entirely. When a desperate client hires him to recover compromising photographs and find a missing woman, Ray opens the locked trunk in his office and steps into a black dress, crimson lipstick, and a short black wig -- walking into the Emerald Room as Claire.
