About the Cover:
They were strange evenings, half dream, half nightmare, these evenings of abandon with the luscious 'Rita. She was gay, pliant, willing to help him enjoy his new-found wealth. But sometimes the warm white arms failed to comfort and whiskey failed to bring its exquisite oblivion... and black moments of purest terror would close in upon him.
