In this swift and striking novel, John D. MacDonald examines the ferment of a big-time convention — the plots, the savage maneuverings, the dreadful ease with which a man or a dream can be destroyed.

SEVEN TO REMEMBER... ANDREA — a girl who took everything her lover had to give her, and then took more... WYATT — a man drowning in his own success, grasping at one final moment of pleasure... NORRIE — who was so innocent and so trusting, and who was so cruelly used... HOWIE — who found that your best friend could cut your heart out... ELLIE — who laughed and laughed, and needed and wanted The Cure... ALDO — who pursued desire and was the victim of his own triumphs... and SAM DAVIS, feeling his way through the ghostly corridors of “The Annex,” wondering: is there life here, is there death, is there love? John D. MacDonald is surely one of the most widely enjoyed writers of his time. With more than 60 books to his credit, and more than 40 million copies of them printed, he has a devoted audience in this country and throughout the world. The words “craftsmanship” and “suspense” occur again and again in critical appraisals of his work. He is truly a masterful storyteller. His fabulously successful TRAVIS McGEE series has run through dozens of printings and reprintings — and there are more on the way. Of the stories in this volume, four are from PLAYBOY, and three have never before been published.

He didn’t see the girl until she was suddenly in front of him, slim and dark and with her raincoat wrapped tight around her. She wanted a job at Dean Products, she said. And why not... She didn’t look like the kind of girl she was. And even after her high-polish exterior had been ripped away to reveal a shadow of the ugly forces beneath, Gev Dean still wasn’t sure what she was really like.
