The Edge of Pleasure
An enormously gifted painter, staggeringly good looking, and profoundly self-absorbed, Gilver Memmer is a cross between every woman's dream and every woman's nightmare, but as his popularity fades and he begins a fall from grace, two women come into his life, one who wants to push him to the grave he has begun to dig for himself and the other who wants to save him from it. Original. 35,000 first printing.
