THE NAKED NOVEL OF A MODERN PARADISE - AND THE PASSIONS THAT TURNED IT INTO HELL! First paragraph(s): JOB LIND padded to the glass wall of the ranch-style kitchen, his large bare feet making wet tracks on the vinyl tile. Staring at the sun-blasted patio outside, he took a sip of the gimlet. It tasted no better than the screwdriver had, earlier. Drops of moisture clung to his big-boned frame and he wondered if another shower would help. Picking up a pencil from Peg's "reminder" pad beside the refrigerator, he marked off another day on the attached calendar. Much as a prisoner, he thought, his normally aggressive mouth trying stiffly to smile. The date was August fifteenth. In another month the desert would start to cool off. Then he remembered that the old-timers said there was sometimes another blast of heat in October. Paperback Original. Size: 4.25" x 7". 188 pages. Text unmarked.
