First Edition. Early romance novel written under the pen name of Kathryn Culver by Davis Dresser, who wrote the Mike Shayne mysteries under the pseudonym Brett Halliday.

One hundred dollars a day for expenses! Janet knew the old saying: 'Them as has, gets.' And for thirty days Janet was going to be one of those 'as has'". Very scarce.
