by JohnO'Hara (Author)
'On this Sunday morning in May, this girl who was later to be the cause of a sensation in New York awoke much too early for her night before'...This particular morning Gloria finds herself alone in a stranger's apartment with nothing but a torn evening dress and her stockings and panties. When she takes a fur coat from the wardrobe to wear home, she sets in train a series of events that will lead to tragedy. A bestseller on its first publication, "BUtterfield 8" is the glittering story of a 1930s glamour girl whose ill-starred entanglement with a respectable married man is set against a backdrop of Manhattan bars and bedrooms.
