I'm assuming that this one is in the sleaze or porn genre.
Otherwise, if it's one of his private dick novels, it
automatically gets my vote for best/worst hb novel title.
Just the fact that a "straight" p.i. novel had been printed
with that title would make it a stand out.

I love the Willeford titles too. I suspect many/most of us do
love them around here, the titles are so wonderfully
expressive of his ironical style. For me although, THE BURNT
ORANGE HERESY was pretty meaningless, until reading the book
of course. Some other favourites of mine: THEY SHOOT HORSES
DON'T THEY?; THEY DON'T DANCE MUCH; THE FOOLS IN TOWN ARE ON
OUR SIDE.
