MY NAME’S MARK TAGGERT . . .


I’m a drifter, a bum, a nobody. No job, no money, no future. I’m on the Thruway with a laundry bag over my shoulder and my thumb stuck out in the air.


Then the most beautiful girl in the world picks me up. She falls in love with me. I fall in love with her.


Nice? Yeah, sure.


I’m still Mark Taggert—a drifter, a bum, a nobody. And she’s Elaine Rice—a Park Avenue playgirl with more gold than Fort Knox.


So where do I go from here?


No one but Sheldon Lord could have written this book, probing so deeply into the inner reaches of human relations. This is a novel you won’t be able to put down!
