    A Swell-Looking Babe by Jim Thompson

It was supposed to be only a temporary job. After all, there's nothing wrong with being a bellboy at a respectable hotel like the Manton -- that is, until she came along. Marcia Hillis. But while Dusty has designs on Marcia, Marcia has an agenda of her own. One that threatens to pull the Manton inside-out, use Dusty up for all he's worth and leave him reeling and on the run, the whole world at his heels.

Year: 1954

    Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard
