HAND-CUFFED TO A SLOT MACHINE... That's how you first meet Rennick. Hand-cuffed to a slot machine and pinned with a murder rap. And the pace never slows up as he bulls his way through a bevy of tough killers, gorgeous blondes and hard-boiled action to a violent gun-battle twelve miles out at sea--all in an attempt to find a mystery girl who is out to have him killed for a crime he didn't commit!
Lew Pool was in the bail bonding business for his health as well as for the buck. Lew had picked up a bad case of claustrophobia in the Korean War. And the only way he could get rid of his psycho-bug was to get his hands on a shady two-timer named Kreena. Working near the jail, Lew figured that sooner or later he’d get a line on the whereabouts of the treacherous skunk who had the kind of talent for dirty work as kept the boys in blue busy. And the day that a big purple car pulled up in front of his office and unloaded a bomb, Lew knew that Kreena was wise to him. The only question now was whether Lew could get his hands on that murderous devil before Kreena gave him a permanent mental cure—with a bullet.
He liked his jets fast and his women faster.

It galled luscious, golden-haired Alma Chrysler to be tied to a husband as stodgy and unexciting as Norman. She didn't think a man should spend his evenings tinkering with a car. Variety was the spice of love, Almla believed, and proved her theory with Scotty, Jim, Bob, and others she could hardly remember. Now it was Ward Green and he was the best of the lot -- a slave to her passion for her -- but could she maneuver him into going along with her plan for the permanent removal of her husband? Only time and her exquisitely formed body would decide whether she could manipulated Ward's hunger for her, giving and then withholding, sating and then starving, until he was ready to obey her slightest command...
Literary Nonfiction. California Interest. Women's Studies. Film. Memoir. THE BIG LOVE is a Hollywood nightmare. It tells the story of Errol Flynn--a fading, alcoholic movie star--and the underage dancer-actress Beverly Aadland. The narrator? Beverly Aadland's fame-worshiping mother Mrs. Florence Aadland, who spurs the relationship on. There is nothing subtle or sympathetic about this memoir: It is outrageous, grotesque, surreal, notorious--an intimate look at Hollywood exploitation and decay. On the one hand, THE BIG LOVE depicts the deterioration of Errol Flynn, an actor who is quickly losing relevance after years of playing irresistible swashbucklers in films such as Captain Blood (1935) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). He is riddled with medical problems, drinking himself to death. On the other hand, there is Mrs. Florence Aadland, also an alcoholic, an uncultured stage mother psychotically pushing her daughter Beverly forward even at the cost of her own marriage. A bizarre, seedy time capsule of the 1950s, THE BIG LOVE is the long-lost literary sister of Barbara Payton's I AM NOT ASHAMED. And, after languishing out of print for years, it is ready to shock brand new audiences with its absurd humor, villainous characters, and sickly dissipation.
