New York: Simon and Schuster, 1962. First Printing. Octavo (7¾" - 9¾" tall). VG/VG, Cloth. 349pp. A sprawling story of two powerful personalities in the financial district of San Francisco. Laura, newly widowed and smart as well well as rich, and Galvin, a lawyer from the South-of-the Slot Irish, in a evenly matched duel of desire, recklessness, guile, humor, and rapacity. Author of "The Furies" and "Duel in the Sun," Nevin Busch has painted a wonderful picture of San Francisco as it was in the post World War II era. The dust jacket is sharp and bright, but has two tiny scratches on front panel, and rubbing on edges of the spine.
