Genre: Mystery
The Killer Is Mine
The dirtiest killer of the year was the man private investigator Ed Rivers had to save from the chair. Wally Tulman, Florida socialite, had been convicted of molesting and murdering a young girl. Tulman’s lovely wife begged Rivers to take his case – to prove him innocent. Rivers wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole. Then somebody tapped him over the head, just to make sure. Ed Rivers got the message. Somebody didn’t want him on the case. So he waded into it – with both fists flying.
The Girl’s Number Doesn’t Answer
Three people were dead, their heads bashed in, their bodies hacked with a samurai sword. All three victims were Japanese. The murder weapon was traced to Nick Martin, a veteran of Iwo Jima. Nick had spent fifteen pain-ridden years in and out of Army hospitals. He tried to drown his memories of the horror, but whisky only put him right back in the middle of that fierce battle. Nick drank a fifth the night of the killing. That’s the kind of case the police call ‘open and shut.’ But Ed Rivers, a private detective, was a friend of Nick Martin’s. And no one was shutting the door of a death cell on Nick – not while Rivers could still go after the real, fiendishly clever murderer.
With a Madman Behind Me
This one was for keeps. It started the night private eye Ed Rivers went to the rescue of a damsel in distress and almost ended up at the bottom of Tampa Bay. Ed knew who was lurking behind him. His name was Russ Leppert. Russ liked to kill people. Not for any real reason – just because he liked it. Then there was the man who had once been the business of hustling pornographic stag movies. He wanted to get back into the racket again, in a big way. And, of course, the middle-aged Dixieland musician named Straight Stuff Delaney. Was Straight Stuff blowing for kicks – or merely furnishing the fanfares for other murders to come?
