In the course of her twenty years, so much had happened to Shirley Campbell -- and so little of it pleasant -- that she was not surprised that two men whom she had never seen before should express a desire to kill her. Shirley, a refugee from the Bronx, living alone in Greenwich Village, is young, intelligent, attractive. She has no enemies -- as far as she knows. The only peril she faces are the romantic overtures of her boss, Mr. Bergan, at Bushwick Brothers, the small plastics manufacturer where she works. When two men threaten to kill her, she realizes it's a case for the police. But how can she depend upon them to protect her? Shirley is tough, funny and wonderful, and police Lt. Burton finds it hard to believe that a girl like this can be a target for murder... from the dust jacket of the 1964 Doubleday first edition
