#1 – Rackets, Inc.
Small-time crook Johnny Merak is determined to get Maxie Temple, a former crime boss who’d framed him for a three-year stretch in San Quentin, and is now returning home from Mexican exile. But the 1950s Los Angeles Underworld wants Temple and Merak dead, and decides that by killing Temple, they can remove both men with one shot. But Merak isn’t having any of the deal—he wants to clear his name and escape his Syndicate ties. When beautiful Dawn Grahame shows up, he finally has a reason to fight for a better life. This is the dark side of the L.A. underworld: the unknown hoodlum who knows too much, a vicious killer named Madden, Madden’s girlfriend, who has to be juiced with heroin to stop her from talking, and Clancy Snow and Dutch McKnight, two Underworld bosses who hover like black spiders of treachery and vice over the very core of Los Angeles, manipulating its social, legal, and political life to their benefit. Can Johnny find a way through this morass?
#2 – Savage City
She was the kind of woman a man always noticed, mostly because of her eyes: deep and dark, they’d held a warmth that could easily kindle a fire in one’s soul. Now they were staring sightlessly up from the sidewalk. It was a killing without a motive, just the first of a string of murders that led Johnny Merak, private investigator, from the teeming underworlds of Chicago and Los Angeles to the edge of the New Mexican desert, trailing a killer who left no clues. But Merak knew the Mafia, its methods and its hiding places—because he’d once been part of that scene himself. And now he was determined to exterminate the evil bosses who controlled the…SAVAGE CITY!
#3 – A Time for Murder
The murder of Carlos Galecci, a kingpin of organized crime, was not unexpected. Only three days earlier, fearing for his life, he’d hired Los Angeles private eye Johnny Merak to discover who was threatening him. Then he’s found seated in his private vault with a knife in his back—a vault whose combination only he knows, a vault no one else has entered in the interim. Summoned to the scene, Merak is hired by Gloria, Galecci’s statuesque blonde wife, to discover her husband’s killer, and to determine how an impossible crime has been committed. But in accepting the assignment, Merak soon finds himself marked for death as well!
