"GIRLS ON THE PROWL," first published in 1961 under the author Andrew Shaw, follows the lives of characters including Saundra, Marilyn, and Joan, with Joan identified as a lesbian. The story introduces Rick Noscaasi, a cab driver, on a quiet night in New York City who encounters a distinctive passenger with whom he crosses paths.
