The vision of Liza Flynn was burned into my mind. My heart pounded. Here it was. Just what I had always been seeking. The big thrill.
I was going to find who killed her husband and the prize would be the loveliest woman I had ever seen. A woman who’d never been touched, really. I could look at her and sense that it was all there, waiting. The hellfire and the thrill and the excitement. It was going to be pure hell for the guy who really woke her up. And I was the guy that was going to do it!

Whittington wrote, by most reports, 170 novels, and he could fill them with such intensity that they were all hard to put down. “Drawn to Evil” features Marty Carter, a hardnosed homicide detective in Tampa, Florida, who reminds one of either Mike Hammer with his vow to give no quarter and stomp out the bad guys or perhaps the Bud White character (played by Russell Crowe) out of Ellroy’s LA Confidential. Carter can solve any crime given enough time in the backroom with a suspect. He isn’t much for legal nitpicking and maintaining the sanctity of evidence. He just wants to get another killer in his hands “and choke the stinking life out of him.”It also features a very obvious femme fatale character, Liza, who Carter falls for like a ton of bricks, when he begins investigating her husband’s murder. “There was something about her that went through me like the hot charge of high voltage,” Carter explains. He always suspects her, but doesn’t really care as her tears burn and sear “like molten steel bubbling out of a white hot vat.” He tells her he wants to find who killed her husband and “batter the living hell out of them.” He wants her and is going to do what it takes to get her. It was all there waiting for him, he explains, “the hellfire and the thrill and the excitement. It was going to be pure hell for the guy who really woke her up.”
Throw in a wealthy estate, a shady club, and some suspicious characters and you have a story brewing. It doesn’t matter that this tale is filled with pulp clichés or that, if you have read enough of the fifties pulp novels, you know what is coming at every step. Whittington writes like the devil is on his heels and it is just pure all-out fun to read this stuff.

Drawn to Evil Prologue Crime edition by Harry Whittington Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
This is a "manly" crime story from the early 1950s. A ham-fisted and not very bright police detective investigates the murder of a state senator (it is set in Tampa). The only mystery seems to be how this "detective" remembers to breathe; but the story is well told and moves along briskly.
The cover (which I admit I was "drawn to") has no real relation to the book.
