General Note

Description
"This newly updated and revised edition of Hell's Belles takes the reader on a soundly researched, well-documented, and entertaining journey back to the early days of Denver. Secrest details the evolution of Denver's prostitution, gambling, drug addicts, and corrupt politicians and police who, palms outstretched, allowed it all to happen. Also included is a biography of one of Denver's original police officers, Sam Howe, upon whose crime studies the book is based.".
Description
"The popular veneer of Denver's present-day Market Street - its fancy bars, posh restaurants, and Coors Field - is stripped away to reveal the street's former incarnation: a mecca of loose morals entrenched in prostitution, liquor, and money. Hell's Belles examines the neglected topics of vice and crime in Denver and utilizes a unique and invaluable historic source - the scrapbooks of Detective Sam Howe."--BOOK JACKET.
