Book Description

Evan Beatty was a biographer of unusual women. His job was to search out hidden facts in their lives, to write about the bizarre, the extraordinary. But in the case of Charlotte French, he dug too deep - deep enough to strike the hard, vicious shell of the most dangerous and fascinating female character he had ever encountered.

Going back into her past, drawing aside the mysterious veils that had obscured her, he began to piece together the real woman. Working with a mad obsession, he fused the years which marked her vivid transition from adolescent slut and consort of Chicago hoodlums to Hollywood tramp, from wily strip-teaser to wife of a respectable and wealthy man. But always with a different name, different personality, different man - always completely evil, exciting and fatal...

As Evan got deeper and deeper into the past of Charlotte French, he realized that something like death was closing in about him - accidents, narrow escapes... as though a dead woman had returned to keep him from finding out the truth...

Here is a mystery with a frighening love story and a complete and shocking surprise.
