The Blonde in Black. By Ben Benson. (Collins, 12s. 6d.)

Sexy pop-singer, in slinky black satin, ventilates the nasty little man who made her famous, with her sexy little pearl-handled pistol. Highly unlikely anouement, but enthralling in- side dope on the world of disc-jockeys, columnists and casting-directors. Quite a hot number.
