Choice of Two Women is a 1951 crime thriller novel by English writer Gerald Butler.[1] It was his sixth novel and was written in the hardboiled style, at the height of its popularity.[2] It was first published as a hardcover edition in Britain by Jarrolds Publishing on 20 September 1951; Digit Books issued a paperback edition in 1960. In the United States, Rinehart & Company issued the book as a hardcover edition under the alternative title Blow Hot, Blow Cold on 2 July 1951 (Butler's only novel to receive publication in the United States ahead of its British print);[3] the Dell Publishing paperback edition was also issued under the alternate title in 1953.
On the French Riviera, a weak-willed adventurer is forced to choose between an apparently wealthy woman and a poor but honest barmaid who truly loves him. He makes the wrong choice and becomes drawn into a web of crime by the former.
