The Wounded and the Slain (1955)

Gold Medal 530 First Print 1955

He was a trespasser in heaven — and a fugitive from hell

From the back:

James Bevan was born too late. 
He was a walking tragedy — a knight in a century of grab-and-run; a lost man of honor in a glib, glittering world. 
He had a mistress who wanted him, a wife who rejected him, and a’ bottle that enfolded him in the arms of oblivion. 
He was balanced on the, edge of civilized disaster — and then he went to Jamaica. In that jungle of the flesh James Bevan sought the end. He found instead a target for his honor, and, in so doing, and in fear and in agony, he found a new beginning of himself. 
But first he had to kill a man.

For Dave Rogers, 19, The Lure Of An Older Woman Was Overwhelmingly Exciting — And Gloria Was Old. She Was 30… And Bored To Tears With Her Husband!

An Insight Into What Really Goes On At Summer Resorts When Bored Wives And College-Age Staffers Are Thrown Together In Circumstances That Can Only Lead To Bed

From the back:

It Was Summertime… And The Loving Was Easy…

The crowd at the Lodge was gay and friendly… and some of the guests mixed only too well!
There was Gloria Logan — for whom, at 30, the hot, sweet ardor of honeymoon days had long since turned into the dull routine of desultory love-making… catapulting her into discreet indiscretions!
There was Dave Rogers — for whom, at 19, the lure of an older woman held more excitement and promise than the callow charms of undiscriminating co-eds… and Gloria’s warm-blooded ripeness promised much!
There was Cindy Hamilton — who, at 18, had already been subjected to a forced, and unwanted experience — and who was now willing to experiment with an exotic kind of love!
There was Anita Lundquist — a blonde bombshell who liked bewitching brunettes — like Cindy! 

And Then There Were The Week-End Husbands Who Swarmed Down Either Too Tired To Toy With Love Or Too Eager To Find A New Playmate!
