The character of Joyce is quite memorable, and despite her "flaws," i found myself liking her at times. What's that say about me? If you like a book with fatale attraction, murder and mayhem, and a protagonist that isn't much better than the "temptress," than track down a copy of this book. And thanks, August, for writing about this book in your blog. I have already ordered Dark Night of Love, recommended in a posted commment by Calvin Clements III. <BR/>--- FrankFrank Loosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12564007564601986631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537120063567683385.post-86982779876831751422008-03-19T04:06:00.000-04:002008-03-19T04:06:00.000-04:00Calvin Clements wrote one more piece from the "pul...Calvin Clements wrote one more piece from the "pulp fiction" genre entitled Dark Night of Love. This was number 752 published by Popular Library in June 1956. Like his other novelettes, this too had a nautical theme, centering around wealthy yachtsman John Brennan and his "two unpredictable nieces." Great stuff.Calvin Clements IIIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07436320317264086212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537120063567683385.post-89676395531937742008-02-25T22:48:00.000-05:002008-02-25T22:48:00.000-05:00kyshwsdCalvin Clements went on to have a very long...kyshwsdCalvin Clements went on to have a very long and prosperous run as a television writer and producer.
