Once More to Die
Retired hitman and gangster, escaped convict, former Marine, outlaw biker, and French Foreign Legionnaire Tommy Atkins is hiding out in the Florida Everglades. When a chance encounter leads him to rescue beautiful freedom blogger Maria Elena from rape and murder, they find themselves on the run from a rogue ex-pat Cuban anti-revolutionary militia group, the U.S. Marshal Service, a CIA and FBI joint task force, an infamous Mexican hitman, and the Tampa and Las Vegas Mafia. Their only hope is to fight their way across the country to try to resolve the militia group to which Maria Elena is heir. Along the way, Atkins teaches Elena Maria the lethal arts and how to survive in his underground world–abilities they must put to good use. Only the fact that he is one of the most dangerous men in the world has kept them alive. The prize at the end of their road? Nothing less than controlling all commerce with Cuba as the Castro brothers regime comes to an end! But only if they live long enough to see the payoff…
Uninvited Guest
Trouble struck the schooner Griselda at 9:40 on an April evening. It was not the fault of the weather or the sea or the soundness of her hull. The trouble was human. A woman. Her name was Julia Parks, though in the beginning she insisted it was Lambert. <P> It was hard to blame Howard Crane for bringing her aboard, because Julia always got what she wanted. What she wanted in this case was money. Keith Lambert’s—her ex-husband’s—money. That there were others too who wanted it was one of the first things that came to the minds of the Barbados police the next morning when Julia was found suffocated in her cabin. But the only trail they had to follow was one of tangled lives and tangled motives that led to jealousy, blackmail, native secrecy, and sudden death – all against the peaceful tropical background of picturesque Barbados. <P> Here is another of the highly polished, tightly knit, and suspenseful mysteries that have made George Harmon Coxe for almost twenty years one of the deans of mystery writers.

You reach a door that will set you free…and it is locked! <P> Daphne Gray cringed against the door. Above her she saw the gleam of a long knife poised to strike…
