Jealous Woman

CARD-GAMBLING AND LOVE GAMBOLING IN THE CITY OF GAY DIVORCEES

Jane Delavan had dark, red hair and plenty of shape of a nice, refined kind. To Ed Horner she was only a little fancy flirtation under the Nevada moon, but he found some peculiar circumstances developing when Jane’s husband, Tom Delavan, himself came to town, followed very shortly afterwards by his first wife, the beautiful but jealous Lady Sperry.

Ed wondered what kind of game Jane Delavan was playing with him, leading him on as she was? And why should Lady Sperry take a heated interest in him of a sudden? What were the cause of secret midnight callers roaming at will through hotel bedrooms? Suddenly Ed Horner found himself slowly being ringed about by a group of hard-hating, highly emotional people who all had motives that involved them in a case of murder and the JEALOUS WOMAN.

Adding to the fast growing list of James M. Cain novels, JEALOUS WOMAN is fiction that rates high for tight-packed action and a set of colorful, trigger-tense characters — a sure guarantee of the reader’s interest to the final smashing climax.
