So Rich, So Lovely and So DeadHarold Q. MasurSimon & Schuster / Pocket Books1952 A Scott Jordan novel.
"Her name was Countess Linda Franchini-Romanoff, and she had a notorious reputation for running around. One thing you could say for Linda: she had earned it. The first time Scott Jordan met her was at her Greenwich Village art studio. After about five minutes of polite repartee, Linda asked Scott to marry her - and offered him $5000 for the 'job'. Scott went home to think it over. The next night, Linda phoned him, begging him to hurry over to her studio. She claimed it was an emergency. When Scott got there, he saw what she meant. He saw the crazy angle of her neck, the bruised temple, the blood on her golden hair. It was an emergency, all right. Poor Linda was so rich, so lovely, but so dead." |
