Laughter Came Screaming & The Extortioners
(Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic...)
Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. The first thriller is “Laughter Came Screaming” by Henry Kane. Meet James Barr…family man, respected and respectable in many ways…spends sedate weekends with his wife…Meet Jimmy Berio…insatiable playboy, with an appetite for provocative dishes (blonde and brunette)—including his own gorgeous step-daughter! Meet James Barr…Wall Street broker of unblemished reputation…moves quietly in the best circles… Meet Jimmy Berio …calculating hoodlum want by FBI and the underworld alive—for the most shockingly ruthless crime of the decade. Meet Jimmy Berio—Alias James Barr… Cold blooded murderer! The second tale is a classic, titled “The Extortioners” by Ovid Demaris. Hugh DeWitt had worked hard all of his life and made it big. Now at age fifty-one he found himself filthy-rich, putting on too much weight, and loving life and all the niceties that went with it. He’d become a big oil tycoon, generous to his family and friends and always willing to help an old pal—but that’s what got him into trouble. So when he innocently told a former business acquaintance he’d see if he could cut him in for a small slice of a big deal, he soon found himself in the clutches of a mobster who wouldn’t take no for an answer. And before long, Hugh DeWitt was faced with an endless nightmare of threats and physical violence against himself, his family, and his closest associates. But things took a decidedly turn for the worse when the threat of murder turned into a reality that even the best cop on the Los Angeles Police Department seemed powerless to stop.

Fistful Of Death
(The proposition sounded like a pushover. All Peter Chambe...)
The proposition sounded like a pushover. All Peter Chambers had to do was find out where a teen-aged chorine had been for the past month and why. And for that information the girl’s father, a prosperous banker, would pay Chambers a cool thousand dollars. It was a quick way to earn some easy money. So Chambers thought . . . until he found out that the fistful of cash carried a little something extra along with it.

Death Is The Last Lover
(''Are you a ladykiller?'' the vision asked. She had skin ...)
''Are you a ladykiller?'' the vision asked. She had skin like cream, hair like jet, and a body that could turn any male into an instant sex-maniac. With a wicked little smile, she moved closer to Peter Chambers. ''I devour ladykillers,'' she murmured. A hot bout of serious slaughter and insincere sex in which Manhattan’s sleuth-about-town Peter Chambers investigates the early death of a dancehall hostess who would do anything for love . . . and much much more for money.

Frenzy of Evil (Black Gat Books)
(FRENZY OF EVIL Jonathan Joseph Carson Jonathan Joe to his...)
FRENZY OF EVIL Jonathan Joseph Carson Jonathan Joe to his friends has reached the pinnacle of success. He is rich, well-traveled, a tremendously successful, oft-married lawyer, owner of a large estate, and now, newly married to a woman young enough to be his granddaughter. But something is wrong with Jonathan. His doctors call it a severe case of climeractic, a type of male menopause, an exaggeration of Jonathan s inherently cruel nature. He savages his opponents in the courtroom, beats his wives, treats everyone around him with casual disdain. And now his new wife comes under his savage thumb. But Dolores has found a lover, someone who might save her. Unfortunately, Jonathan finds out, and there is only one thing to do and so he begins a frenzy of evil that will stop at nothing less than murder.

The game of murder: it’s not a pretty game. The players are weird. They don’t fit in with normal people, sensible people - people who don’t get a kick out of shoving in the knife, ripping through the flesh, seeing the bright red spurt . . . Peter Chambers knows the game of murder. He’s not a player - more of a referee. He sees them all: the murder for profit, the murder for fun. Sometimes he’s on the receiving end. And when sex gets mixed with murder, it’s almost enough to make a guy give up sex - for a day or two.
