| Summary |
Fran Morrison, an investigative reporter for a New York City magazine, starts working on an in-depth expos√(c) uncovering the dangerous world of street prostitutes in the city and who really profits from the multi-million-dollar industry. She investigates how the prostitutes work, who their pimps are, and even who their clients are. As she learns more and more about that world, she discovers that many of the sex workers have powerful ties to the city's police department and even to city hall and that many of the city's richest and most powerful families and corporations benefit directly and indirectly from the illegal sex business. |
