She Had the Body of an Angel...and the Soul of a Devil.

Kitty Grey is a young, conniving private nurse who married her much-older patient -- a rich, pudgy, hotel magnate in poor health who was desperate for a wife. She loves his money, his mansion and his servants, but he can’t satisfy her raging, phsyical needs...and she’s not willing to wait until he dies to to get what she wants. So she seduces Mike Callahan, an ex-GI with a criminal past, and convinces her husband to hire him as their driver, creating a deadly triangle of passion, betrayal and greed.

In 1959, a Cleveland delicatessen owner was arrested on obscenity charges for sellng this book... but the charges were dropped when the D.A. couldn’t prove the man was aware of the content of the novels sold in his shop, which were stocked and managed by a book distributor. This novel, racy and scandalous in its day, is tame by today’s standards...and has been out of print for over sixty years.

Henry Lewis Nixon was a pseudonym for Dr. Herbert Leon Newbold (1921-1994), a psychiatrist and self-proclaimed dietician who advocated his namesake diet in several non-fiction books. In addition to his ＂sleazy＂ Nixon-penned novels (The Golden Couch, Confessions of a Psychiatrist, etc) he also wrote the ＂erotic novel＂ Dr. Cox’s Couch under his own name.
