That was Jonathan Wells, a man who had used every dodge in the book - as well as his extraordinary good looks - to fleece love-hungry women of their savings. But the Temple Of Love was the biggest con game of all. For not only did the women flock there, to give donations-and their feverish bodies to a man who called himself Brother Jonathan - but Pete Harper, special political fixer for the Mayor came also. He came to tell Jonny Wells that the crooked Mayor had had a heart attack and they needed a big man with the women to win the coming election. They came to offer him not only an entire city with graft and corruption as his personal plums, but all the women he wanted, for this election was to be a PASSION FRAUD! First paragraph(s): THERE'S A CHANCE I WON'T END UP like a lot of other guys in this city, with a bullet in my head and my body dumped in some alley down by the waterfront. so I've got to be careful about the way I tell this. I'll change all the names of the people, of course, and I'll change their physical descriptions, and naturally I won't give the name of the city in which everything took place. Let's just say it's a big industrial center on the Eastern seaboard, and I'm sure one of you can figure things out and fill in the actual facts if necessary.
