Silk Slippers and Tutus

Being a Private Detective in Greenwich Village has its ups and downs. There are fewer areas of art where such beauty is as wondrously presented than in the world of ballet. Or, at least, one would think so. New York is famous for many things including for being a center of culture, so when a young dancer from Montreal is given an opportunity to debut in a new ballet choreographed by a brilliant rising star, she accepts, but a shadow follows her from Montreal to the Big Apple. Murphy is approached by a dance studio owner who has been chosen to open a ballet with this young ballerina as the principal dancer. Her studio has been experiencing 'odd' accidents and she is concerned that there may be something a bit more sinister going on. Murphy enters into the darker side to this world of egos, jealousies, rivalries, sexual encounters, embittered betrayals and revenge. To complicate his life even more, his friend Crazy Pete is brutally attacked and he goes after the ones responsible.
