Jeopardy Is My Job (Chester Drum)

( Drum looks for a missing American in a sea of degenerat...)

Drum looks for a missing American in a sea of degenerate expats. An American has vanished in Spain, and it’s his father, not his wife, who wants him found. When Chester Drum arrives in Iberia, legs aching from the three-thousand-mile flight, he finds Andrea Hartshorn not panicked, not mourning, but hosting the party of the year. World-weary expatriates mill about the villa, guzzling her liquor and dancing, without a thought for their missing countryman. Andrea is far from sober, but finally Drum gets her to open up. Of course she wants her husband back. But more than that, she wants her daughter. Robbie was last seen going south to Fuengirola, to confront a crippled bullfighter named Ruy Fuentes, who had been courting the Hartshorns’ toreador-mad daughter. Drum sets out to find the missing Hartshorns, and learns that in Spain, a bull’s horn is not the only romantic way to die.

Killers Are My Meat (Chester Drum)

( A drive-by killing puts Drum on the scent of a Washingt...)

A drive-by killing puts Drum on the scent of a Washington sex scandal. When Chester Drum first took a crack at detective work, PI Gil Sprayregan offered to split a case with him, giving the rookie half the fee and more credit than he deserved. Years later, Drum is established and Gil is at the tail end of a long, slow fall, drinking heavily and considering blackmail to make ends meet. When he gets in over his head, Sprayregan’s wife begs Drum to help. But her husband has already taken the first step on the road to oblivion. Drum takes a dinghy out to Sprayregan’s Chesapeake hideout. When they return, a car full of gangsters kills Sprayregan and puts Drum in the hospital. Drum doesn’t mourn the man who gave him his first break, but to the new widow, he owes a debt. No matter how well connected they are, he will break the men who gunned down Gil Sprayregan.

Homicide Is My Game

( When Drum picks up a hitchhiker, trouble follows her in...)

When Drum picks up a hitchhiker, trouble follows her into the car. A monsoon is hammering Washington, D.C., when Chester Drum spots Anita Sparrow on the roadside in the middle of the night. Sixteen, frail, and soaking wet, she is trying to find help for her brother, Donny, a photographer with cerebral palsy who was beaten nearly to death a mile up the road. Drum takes Donny to the hospital and drives Anita home, where he finds her house ransacked, her brother’s darkroom destroyed. It seems Donny took a picture of something he wasn’t supposed to see, and powerful men will kill to ensure the negative is never developed. On top of it all, Drum soon learns that the Sparrows have ties to some of the biggest names inside the Beltway, and Anita is not as innocent as she appears. Her family story simmers with pornography, corruption, and murder - not polite topics for dinner table conversation, but ones that make Chester Drum feel right at home.

Model for Murder

(Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions ...)

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic Mystery-Crime novels. This gritty tale, “Model for Murder,” is written by highly acclaimed mystery writer, Stephen Marlowe. It was three murders for the price of one. There weren’t too many guys around who would take a two-year stretch in prison for someone else’s crime, but that’s exactly what Jason Chase did for his brother, Ken. And to show his gratitude, Ken then married Jason’s girlfriend while he lay wasting away in a dank prison cell—talk about brotherly love! However, Ken did have a big fat check for a hundred grand waiting for Jason when he got out of the slammer. But what Jason Chase also found waiting for him was an old gal pal who was willing to take him in. In fact she’d do just about anything for him—as long as he wouldn’t sent her away. This all seemed quite nice and soothing for a guy who’d just finished doing a stretch. But then they both walked in on a grisly homicide that turned everything upside down and led them into the sleazy world of girlie magazines and blackmail—a world where more murders were sure to follow…

In the beleaguered city of Berlin, nobody trusts anybody, and Lorelei Graeber didn't trust Drum, not even when he promised to smuggle her father from the other side of the dreaded Wall into the free zone. Not even when Drum clued her in to the massive tunnel being dug beneath the Brandenburg Gate for the escape of 300 refugees enslaved in the Soviet Zone. Lorelei Graeber wouldn't trust any man who was out to prove that her boyfriend was a double agent bouncing back and forth between a West and East Berlin like a little old ping-pong ball. And Drum was doing just that.

VIOLENCE IS MY BUSINESS Duncan Lord has everything to live for—a professorship at a prestigious college, the prospect of a top government job, an apparently happy marriage. Yet Chester Drum, hired to find out who the professor is sleeping with, penetrates a police cordon just in time to see Lord jump to his death from a fourth-floor ledge in the midst of Homecoming festivities. When Drum is accused of using his knowledge to blackmail the professor, his private investigator's license is lifted. The only way he can get it back is to learn what drove Lord to suicide. Was it an obsession with the call girl Bobby Hayst? Or was there something far more sinister? To find the truth, Drum must dodge a sadistic sheriff, a vengeful fellow professor, and a crooked investigator with the highest Washington connections—all conspiring to make Drum’s exit from his line of work a permanent one! TURN LEFT FOR MURDER As a teenager on the mean streets of Brooklyn, Norm Fisher had found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. He'd witnessed a gangland killing. Worse, he'd driven the getaway car for Big Danny Cooper and Buggsy. They wanted him in the gang, but Fisher joined the Army instead. Now he’s out, married with one kid and another on the way, and Buggsy wants him back. Buggsy has a particular hit in mind—the special prosecutor for gangbusting!—and he’ll do whatever it takes to bring Fisher into it. Big Danny, execution expert for the mob’s Brooklyn branch, has plans for Fisher too, and between them they give him no choice. The lives of his wife and child hang in the balance, and no matter which way he turns, the road leads to murder.

In Thomas H. Cook’s first novel, a weary detective tracks a blood-crazed psychopath. Blood seeps into the gutters at the children’s zoo in Central Park. Two deer have been slaughtered, one stabbed 57 times and the other slashed across the neck. Normally it would be a case for the Parks Department, but these are no ordinary deer. The pride of the small menagerie, they were given to the zoo by a prominent socialite who cannot afford bloody headlines. The NYPD hands the case to Detective Reardon, star of the homicide squad. A recent widower at 56, Reardon has seen too many human victims to care much about the two butchered animals. He resents being taken off other pressing cases for the sake of politics, but soon another killing snaps him to attention. Two women are found dead in their apartment, one stabbed 57 times and the other with her throat cut. Surely this vicious parallel isn’t a coincidence.…

But as soon as my plane landed, I met the mysterious girl in the white linen suit.

GlobalSlaughterMedia's Classic Crime Collection Volume 1 (Murder Takes a Wife, I Have Gloria Kirby, Room to Swing, Death is My Comrade, and No Good From a Corpse.)

(Five classic novels of crime and detection by five great ...)

Five classic novels of crime and detection by five great authors-- MURDER TAKES A WIFE by JAMES A. HOWARD (original publication, 1958) Jeff Allen kills for a living and makes a living worth killing for. Extravagant omen are his preferred targets, his customers their weak, greedy husbands. When he falls in with a set of oil men who are no strangers to cruelty, their wives who are no strangers to vanity, and their families who are no strangers to greed or spinelessness, he begins hatching a plot to take it all. But evil has a way of paying back with interest. ROOM TO SWING by ED LACY (original publication, 1957) Pulp legend and civil rights activist Leonard S. Zinberg, better known as Ed Lacy, with this novel gave the United States its first realistic novel featuring an African American detective. Toussaint “Touie” Marcus Moore is running for his life after being found with a murdered client. Hiding out in the dead man's hometown, he struggles to clear his name before the police track him down. I HAVE GLORIA KIRBY by RICHARD HIMMEL (original publication, 1951) Johnny Maguire, now a successful attorney, has escaped the dark, slum-world to which he was born, or so he thinks. So has the woman he once loved, Gloria Kirby, now the favorite woman of a wealthy gangster, or so she thinks. But she is about to walk back into his life with a lot of money, a lot of troubles, and a dangerous proposition. Johnny has enough brains not to say 'yes,' but too much heart to say 'get lost.' Johnny Maguire was featured in at least eleven novels, but his creator, Richard Himmel, once a favorite of the genre, has slipped into obscurity. His explosive and passionate style deserves to be rediscovered. Here's your chance. NO GOOD FROM A CORPSE by LEIGH BRACKETT (original publication, 1944) Bracket is an author of such diverse talent that it is impossible to know where to begin. As a novelist, she is best known for her work in science fiction, and for the screen was a co-writer for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1979). She has had great success also, however, with crime and westerns, in story magazines, novels, and screenwriting. This Hammett-esque, hard-boiled detective mystery/revenge thriller was her very first novel, and on its strength was hired by Howard Hawks to co-write the screen adaption of THE BIG SLEEP (1946). DEATH IS MY COMRADE by STEPHEN MARLOWE (original publication 1960) Stephen Marlowe, who started off as a sci-fi writer under his real name, Milton Lesser. His best known creation was the globe-trotting FBI-agent-turned-private-detective Chester Drum, who in this novel becomes entangled in a murder and kidnapping plot, which eventually send him into the heart of the Soviet Union to free an imprisoned writer with a story to tell the world.

Drum guards a killer against an assassin with diplomatic immunity. Everybody knows George Brandvik killed Jorgen Kolding. As soon as the jury acquits him, Brandvik sells his story to View magazine, confessing to the crime in exchange for a payday. Once the magazine hits newsstands, the death threats start rolling in - semi-literate garbage which nevertheless must be taken seriously. A reporter from View hires private detective Chester Drum to protect Brandvik, and an hour hasn’t gone by before Drum saves the killer’s life, disarming a Swedish blonde before she can plug Brandvik in the gut. She is the dead man’s daughter, and her diplomatic immunity means she will be deported, not prosecuted. But before she leaves, her bloodlust must be sated. That afternoon, the reporter and his driver are killed by a car bomb, and Drum sees the Swedish girl fleeing the scene. Soon Brandvik is dead too, gunned down in his bathroom. Drum books tickets to Iceland, to learn if this waifish blonde is really as deadly as she seems.

A kidnapped intellectual and a dead partner take Drum to South America.... When Andy Dineen tires of the FBI, he jumps ship for Langley and joins the CIA to fight the Cold War in Berlin. After years in the spy game, he grows sick of the paperwork, and is considering his options when an old friend, private detective Chester Drum, offers him a job. Drum is surprised when his old academy classmate takes him up on it, and shocked when it gets Dineen killed. Dineen’s first and last case is a stint as a bodyguard for a South American intellectual who’s writing an expose of his nation’s savage dictator. When the strongman’s thugs kidnap the author and bludgeon Dineen, Drum rushes to the hospital just in time to watch his friend die. Avenging Dineen will mean a trip to South America, and infiltrating a palace whose secret police are not half as dangerous as the despot’s daughter.
