The front hinge is weakening, otherwise the binding is in good condition. The pages are clean and the black cover shows light wear. The jacket is stained, scuffed and toned. Good hardcover in acceptable dust jacket.

The frightening motives of a spectacularly evil lady gossip columnist are candidly revealed in this shocking novel that is also an expose of the bizarre practices of the entertainment world. The late, unlamented Adrienne Drum was notorious for making and destroying careers. Her methods were fascinating. She never hesitated to promise anything. Legions of innocents were seduced by Adrienne's implied promises of fame and wealth only to have their hearts broken and their public images shattered. Undeniably authentic because it is written by a former press agent who has been closely associated with the theater, this is both a shocking and frighteningly valid novel. (2151)
