Book Review: Gil Brewer, The Tease (1967)



Wes McCord is a skirt-chaser with a marriage to match. One night, when his disgusted wife leaves him to stay at her sisters house, a naked nymphette appears on his doorstep with an incredible tale of murder and money. For reasons that are never explained, Wes believes that money will solve his marital problems, so he agrees to help the nymphette flee her pursuers and secure her hidden loot. If all goes well, she will give him half of her $300,000. Brewer may be going through the motions with this one, but at least he knows the motions to go through. Grade: C

  1. Gil Brewer's later works lacked the power and intensity of his Gold Medal classics from the Fifties.
