A classic early pulp novel by the author of the Hoke Moseley series. (Plot description from the original 1958 edition's back cover): She was a perfectly nice girl, this Maria Dugan--though possibly a little too attractive for her own good. Craving a vacation that would really furnish thrills and excitement, she decided to treat herself to a couple of weeks in fabled Miami. There she soon learned that the only way to interest a man was to treat him better than the other pretty vacationers did. Maria's shocked girlfriend, Peggy, went back to New York. But Maria decided to play it alone. So she found herself on a yacht, passing delightful hours with sleek, experienced Donald McKay. Then Donald induced her to go to that mysterious mansion in the Everglades, the one that jaded old men and young ne'er-do-wells loved to visit in secret. Too late Maria realized that her search for thrills had led her into slavery. She was about to become a plaything, a helpless object of lust.
