The Predators
There's nothing new or surprising in this posthumously published novel by a grand master of sexy pop fiction. Reading like a 13-year-old boy's ultimate fantasy, the novel tells the story of Jerry Cooper, a scrappy Jewish kid who fights his way up and out of his lower-class background and New York's infamous Hell's Kitchen and into the world of super-rich Paris jet-setters. The story follows Jerry as he fends off advances from dozens of women who are mad for him (and can't keep their hands to themselves); uses his tough-guy street smarts to outsmart the Mafia; does a stint in the army, where, of course, he takes up with a sex-starved stripper; and has affairs with sundry beautiful nymphomaniacs. This is a fast, easy read bursting with sex, greed, and a dizzying array of terms for male genitalia--a million-dollar formula.Kathleen Hughes--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
