| From the back cover of first Pocket Book edition: 'She was stocky, fiftyish and tough as nails. She wore a mink stole and the rings were real diamonds. She wouldn't give her name or her real reasons for hiring private-eye Lew Archer, but he took the hundred-buck fee and agreed to find Lucy, the cute Negro nurse, and report. Lew found her easily enough, but before the day was over Lucy was dead, Lew had given back his retainer set out on his own investigation. The case got tougher and nastier while he dug for the facts. One violent murder led to another. Then Lew met Bess, a blond juvenile delinquent whose ways hadn't improved with age. Bess was a girl friend of Lucy's ex-employer. She had another lover who hadn't been seen for two weeks. She also had a husband and knew a lot more about murder than she was telling. Everyone connected with this triple-crossing blonde was MARKED FOR MURDER!' |
