Kate wants out-out of her parents’ beatings, out of Newark, out of the gray grind of her teenage life. But freedom comes at a price. Lured by a sleazy truck driver with promises of glamour, she winds up in a rundown motel north of New York-and in the middle of a blackmail and baby-selling racket run by a sinister lesbian.
Trapped among desperate young women and predators posing as saviors, Kate learns that every kindness hides a hook and every offer comes with strings-and hands. When passion turns to peril and her "protector" reveals darker appetites, Kate must fight her way out before she becomes a buried secret.
KATE is a raw, feverish tale of corruption, coercion, and forbidden desire-a lost pulp novel where innocence burns fast and nothing stays pure for long.
"That insatiable sex drive that possesses all pulp women triumphs again." Pulp & Pep"Chet Kinsey" was of many pseudonyms for author Ted Stratton.
