Doctor Slaughter

Having already traded sexual favours for help paying the plumber's bills, Lauren easily turns to prostitution to improve her finances.

Mysteriously, she receives a video documentary about the Jasmine Escort Agency, a high-priced call-girl service.

Feeling herself superior to the women featured on the video, Lauren signs on with the agency.

Besides improving her finances, Lauren's second job brings her in contact with the affectionate Lord Bulbeck, a British politician and the mysterious Mr Van Arkady.

In 1986, the story was made into the film Half Moon Street, starring Sigourney Weaver as the titular character.
