 "Chips'
Girls"
by O. Demaris
Beacon Books, 1961
The back cover reads:
"They Couldn't Control Their Impulses!
Meet Chip Mason--six feet tall in his elevator
shoes--second-rate at everything...except girls. It was success he wanted,
but for Chip the glory road was paved with the bodies of lusting women.
There was Kay, the bosomy
chanteuse, who taught him fleshy delights, he had never dreamed of. There
was Toni, the teen-ager--inexperienced, but willing to learn. There was
Audrey, his neglected wife, whom Chip persuaded to give him one more chance--and
what a chance! There was Gloria, the party girl, and Sheryl, the boss's
wife, who loved Chip enough to do anything for him--but anything...
One of these lovely women would lead Chip to
oblivion--or to golden success and golden ecstasy!
Never before so revealing
a novel about America's thirll-crazed casanovas--men on the road, tangling
with women on the make."
Chip Mason is a singer in a small-time jazz combo
and wants to make a name for himself before all his quickly-fading youth
slips away. He has a shot, but only with a song he stole from his hipster
piano player room-mate. Chip has fought his way from the small town to
the big city and doesn't care who he has to step on or what women he has
to sleep with to get to the top.
This book is a great transition book from the
classic hard-boiled tawdry tales of pulp paperbacks to the sex, sex,
and more sex of the sleaze genre.
