The Prince of Paradise: The True Story of a Hotel Heir, His Seductive Wife, and a Ruthless Murder

By John Glatt. "[Ben Novack, Jr.] lived a glamorous life -- and died a gruesome death..." At the hands of "his ex-stripper wife" -- who had tried it before!  Someone's definitely tried this paperback before: cracks to the spine, that missing front corner, and a remainder mark on the bottom page edges. But this one makes infrequent appearances in the wild, and the spine is tight and square, so this reading copy might be worth your while. (If only for the author photo, one of the great last-minute "...what??" jobs in the genre.)
