The old man and me

by Elaine Dundy

Betsy Lou Saegessor is bent on revenge. Her father is dead and, to top it off, the vast fortune that should have been hers has somehow ended up in the bank account of the legendary and elusive Englishman, C.D. McKee. So Betsy sets off from New York to seduce and betray him. C.D. is fat and ugly - but boy is he sexy. Betsy follows him through the night clubs of London, grooving to jazz, smoking hash - and plotting murder.
