It’s nice to be a millionaire. Money can buy you darn near anything. It can buy you things you’re only supposed to get for love. It can buy you the best-looking women—in a city where good-looking women come high. It can buy a professional private eye—like Peter Chambers—to make sure the girls stay bough. It can buy you the roughest, toughest strong-arm men going—if the private eye gets too interested in his work. In fact, Chambers’s millionaires can even buy a murder. The trouble is, he never knows when the murder is going to be his own.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
"Brilliantly inventive, written with great flair and shows a deliciously comic and ironic sense of American realities."—Alfred Kazin "The virtues of [Vizinczey's] style are those he finds in Hungarian poetry: the moody ferocity of a locked-up beast, and also a classic clarity and complete lack of self-indulgence."—Thomas D'Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor "Shows where the true values lie—not in wealth or the rule of law but in that as yet inviolate sector where a man and woman make love. . . . I was entertained but also deeply moved: here is a novel set bang in the middle of our decadent, polluted, corrupt world that, in some curious way, breathes a kind of desperate hope."—Anthony Burgess, Punch (London) "Bravo!"—Graham Greene
