A Key to the Suite by John D. MacDonald
A Key to the Suite by John D. MacDonald
Floyd Hubbard arrives at a convention at a busy beach-town hotel with a mission from the top brass: ax a longtime manager in the sales team who has been slacking off for too long. Hubbard's a loyal company man, but his background is engineering, not cold-blooded corporate warfare. Little does Hubbard realize that the first grenade has already been lobbed -- and he's the target.
Cory Barlund has heard more than her share of odd requests in her years as a high-class call girl, so this one's right up her alley: pose as a journalist, seduce a visiting executive, and embarrass him in front of his colleagues. But after a night with Hubbard, Cory's having second thoughts. Hubbard's a good man. She may be falling for him. And the real hustlers are the ones on the convention floor.
