Call girl Marja's involvement in a well-publicized murder case turns her already topsy-turvy life into speedzone. Author Harold Robbins goes through the mesirable life of this woman with a fine-tooth comb and succeeds in delivering a humanized portrait of a lost soul who's personal and professional havocs push her to the limits of self-destruction. Her path to there is a no holds barred, gritty contemporary read that is destined to become a one sitting read.-----Martin Boucher

Okay, first of all I have to say that Robbins was probably commenting on society's obsession with the flesh and flair of a beautiful woman like Marja. The events in her life revolve around her sexuality and her ability to manipulate others based on that. However, she loses her purpose, and dreams trying to please them. The money she wants so badly is important because it will provide her a life her family never had.
I loved the idea, but Im sad to see that her character is a victim of her own circumstances. I really like her character and want her to do well.
