Larry Flynn was a special investigator for hotels. And though the swanky Surfside Lodge was not in his bailiwick, he was willing to answer the call for help from the pretty widow that ran it. He’d owed her husband a personal debt, and it looked like a good opportunity to repay it. Besides, there was something mighty strange about her sudden telegram. Now, as he pushed his fast sports car towards the plush resort, he tried to think of what the mystery might be. When a truck came along, rammed him, and tried to force him off the mountain road at the cliff’s edge, Flynn had at least part of the answer. It was murder, and it looked as if instead of resting at the Surfside that night, he’d be taking the long sleep at the cliffside bottom.

Eight long years had not dulled the hatred that Cordell held for Mont Lansford. Eight long years had only given the manhunter the chance to track Langsford down, to get him with his back to Boot Hill. Eight years of pain and humiliation now looked down the barrel of Cordell's carbine.

(The first time insurance claims investigator Peter Durham...)
The first time insurance claims investigator Peter Durham’s friend Arne Rasmussen had a fire on one of his ships, Peter treated it as a routine accident. The second fire he called bad luck. But when the third fire broke out, Peter knew there was no jinx, but just a very clever arsonist. Every case has its angles, but Peter found them going in all directions this time: a man almost beaten to death, a beautiful femme fatale, a strong silent Oriental, a tough Beat Generation poet, and $600,000 in foreign currency. But all these mysterious elements were nothing compared to the puzzle of what to do with a beautiful young lady who turned into an international incident when she became The Corpse Without a Country.

Malcolm Lowry had waited five long years for his revenge; he’d built up a lot of hate in that time. But now he was ready to strike back at the men who’d slain his wife and stolen his money. It had taken that five years to get the goods on those two men and to lay his plans for his ruin. But there were things he hadn’t counted on. One was Tanya, the luscious blonde he wanted to love but dared not trust. Another was that in his absence his enemies had acquired a silent partner—one who wouldn’t hesitate at mayhem and murder.

When Special Investigator Jeff McKeon was called hurriedly back to the Puget City DA’s office, it marked the end of a beautiful vacation and the abrupt beginning of an ugly frame. For while Jeff’s back had been turned, his political enemies had been busy laying plans to give him a permanent vacation—in jail. This time they had the DA on their side, for the evidence seemed quite foolproof. Jeff, they convincingly demonstrated, was the new front-man for the Syndicate’s big push into town. And when Jeff realized he had to tackle the Syndicate itself to disprove that, he knew that his fate now lay in the fickle hands of The Duchess of Skid Row—a gal who had every reason to want him dead.

THE TIME MERCENARIES: There had been one war scare too many and so the human race had used genetic sorcery to delete the aggressive tendencies from its heredity. But now mankind was faced with an enemy so superior, so ruthless, that it was fight or be wiped out, and the humans could not fight. They couldn't even give orders to their robots to produce weapons. ~ ~~ ~ The only possibility was to call up and bring back to life a museum exhibit: the submarine EUPHRATES and its battle-trained crew. The ship had been sunk a thousand years ago, and had been preserved to demonstrate the decadence of violence, violence which was now the only hope against and enemy to whom living space was all-important and human life was entirely superfluous!

Paul Knox, secret agent for the U.S. Government, had been around. But never had he seen anything as vicious as this new twist in the blackmail racket. Wealthy and prominent people were being exposed to international scandal, the kind that could give not merely themselves but their nation a black eye, and it had to be stopped. Further, it was known that the criminal ring was about to expand. But when Paul found his only contact had been stabbed through the eye with an icepick, he realized several things: first, his own life was in immediate peril; second, he could trust no one on either side of the law; and third, with no more leads to follow, his only hope was a Stab in the Dark.

Martin Zane thought he was all finished with his routine report on the freighter Temoc for Marine Mutual, but the lush blonde suddenly changed his mind.

Zane realized that a fraud was about to be pulled, but he didn’t know how. When he tried to discover what connection the golden Amazon had with his investigation, he realized too late that he had walked into a hornet’s nest buzzing with con men and killers . . .
