197526842New York: Arbor House. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. c.1975. First Edition. Hardcover. nice clean copy with just the teensiest bit of shelfwear; the jacket is similarly nice with only some minimal wear along the top edge light surface-scratching to the rear panel. A Hollywood novel of sorts set in both Rome and California about the love affair between a beautiful Italian film star and a "somewhat balding" middle-aged Jewish American screenwriter. This was the first of just two novels by Shavelson himself a noted screenwriter/director who served three non-consecutive terms as president of the Writers Guild of America-west. Among his films as a director were two starring Sophia Loren -- HOUSEBOAT 1958 and IT STARTED IN NAPLES 1960 -- and it seems conceivable that the novel's titular character may have been somewhat modeled on or inspired by Loren. .

Rud is also noted for his early WEIRD TALES story 'Ooze' 1923 and another mystery HOUSE OF THE DAMNED 1934 inducted by Bill Pronzini into 'The Alternate Hall of Fame' in SON OF GUN IN CHEEK.
