The Wife Traders"The Wife Traders"
by G.A. Graeme
Newsstand Library Books, 1959
     The back cover reads: "What started out to be a friendly bridge game once a week graduated into a 'fun and games' free-for-all...with 'love me--love my wife' heading the list. But when the rate for exchange became a hefty payoff, the membership dropped suddenly and violently--through suicide and murder!"
     It's the joys of wife-swapping and a hard boiled mystery all wrapped into one. Our hero, the rugged newspaper man Chuck Tomkins, goes one night to cover a murder of two nude corpses and the next you know he's deep in the realm of suburban sin. Tomkins has to deal with the wives' eager hands and their husbands' angry fists. It's a sexual merry-go-round hidden deep within the peace and quiet of the well-to-do neighborhoods. It all starts with a innocent game of bridge, then on to strip poker, then, before you know it, couples are frolicking naked in the woods. It sounds all well and good, but under the surface lies the threat of blackmail and violence. It's all there waiting to be exposed and scooped by our fearless reporter.
