Book description
There's love, and there's revenge. Betsy Lou Saegessor is bent on
revenge. Her father is dead, and to top it off, the vast fortune that
should have been hers has ended up, through the second marriage of her
now deceased stepmother, in the bank account of the legendary and
elusive Englishman, C. D. McKee. So Betsy sets out from New York to
seduce and betray him. C. D. is fat and ugly - but boy is he sexy. Betsy
follows him through the night clubs of London, grooving to jazz, smoking
hash - and plotting murder. A wickedly funny novel about falling in love
-- with an Old Man and the Old World -- despite the best intentions.
