Professional Charmer

Robert Desmond was among the most prolific authors for Girodias' Travellers Companion series, writing eight books in all, the last in 1962. Little is known about him today, biographies we have about Girodias and others barely mention the man, only remarking how upset Mr. Donleavy was to be published alongside him. This title, Professional Charmer, about a gigolo of course, is one of Desmond's most-reprinted works.
