This came out in 1963, proving that quarries have always been a place of danger and sin. I like this cover, despite the “boy without morals” and the “innocent girl” both appearing to be in their mid-to-late 30s. The cover captures a time and a place. It tells a story, even before you flip over to the first page.
This cover was done by Mort Engle.
