"She looked for thrills -- and found murder!" -- front cover.
Mystery about an athletic instructor & judo expert who takes a job as a bodyguard for a rich man's mistress. Features gloriously lurid, un-pc cover art [unattributed, alas] in Avon’s best style : a tough guy grabs a blonde in yellow dress by the hair and yanks her head back as he’s about to slug her with a pistol. On the back cover, she turns the tables and bites the guy’s arm as he’s trying to strangle her. Interesting to compare the Avon cover to the new reprint from Ramble House [http://www.ramblehouse.com/billiondollarbody.htm]. I like the Avon better!
