His fantasy is to start an institute to teach young scholars the biographical arts, and it will take old money to make his dreams come true. Around Washington, the oldest money is found not in the District, but in Delaware, a land of wealth so astonishing that even the Du Ponts are considered nouveau riche. But when the professor goes to Wilmington, he comes away not with old money, but young trouble. Her name is Hortense Garrett. She is his benefactor s wife, a twenty-something beauty trapped in an unhappy marriage, whose good looks conceal the most cunning mind this side of the Potomac. She needs a ride to Washington, and Lloyd offers to give her a lift. They ve barely left Delaware before he falls for her. By the time they hit the Beltway, his biography will be in her hands. Condition: Jacket with closed tear and creases at back head hinge light edge wear, spine ends rubbed else a near fine copy in a very good to fine jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine-. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Printing. First Edition (so stated) of Cain fifth novel. 8vo: [8],218,[2]pp. Publisher's ruby red cloth, spine and covers stamped in black, top edge stained matching red, other edges rough-trimmed; illustrated dust jacket by Bob Smith, priced $2.00. A superlative example (probably unread), slight fading to top edge, paste-downs stained from binder's glue, else virtually pristine, as is the jacket. A gangster-thriller, tough-guy novel, peopled with hoods, corrupt cops, and crime lords. Written during Cain's Hollywood period (and basis for the film noir "Slightly Scarlet," with John Payne, Rhonda Fleming, and Arlene Dahl), it was one of his first commercial misses, although it's been called "perhaps his most underrated work," which "displays Cain's storytelling at its best."
