Money Girl was originally published by Gold Medal Books in 1954 and
tells the story of three lives that collide one December in New
York City-Hortense, the dance instructor who knows how to look out
for number one; Maxie, the mamma's boy who just wants his shot at
happiness; and Hugh, who wrecks it for all of them.Life and Death
of a Tough Guy was originally published in 1955 by Avon Books. Joey
Kasow is a skinny Jewish kid growing up in the 1920's in Hell's
Kitchen. Tormented by the Irish thugs in the neighborhood, he
eventually gains their begrudging respect and is allowed to join
their gang, the Badgers. Joey grows up tough. He knows he's got to
take whatever is dished out to him to stay in the gang. He learns
how to inflict pain--he learns how to kill. And gradually he works
his way up the ladder to become the Spotter's enforcer. He is now
Joey Case. But Joey can't escape his past, falling in love with
innocent young Sadie Madofsky, his refuge from the brutal world
around him. All Joey wants is to get ahead--but the Spotter has
other plans for him.
