The Removal Company
Katharine Vance had supposedly committed suicide in 1932, but when she surfaces under another name a year later, with no memory of her previous life, private eye Joe Scintilla is hired to investigate. He must travel from his native New York to Los Angeles to Italy, to uncover the nefarious schemes of «The Removal Company.» A thrill-a-minute hard-boiled adventure, the first of a series!
The Mural
Hidden in the desolate woods on the Central California coast, lost to time and memory, is a WPA mural unlike any other created during the 1930s. This one was not simply fashioned from charcoal and paint; it was crafted out of undying evil–the evil of an ancient demonic army called Legion. When structural inspector Jack Hayden stumbles upon the mural in a ruined civic building, he tries to convince himself that it might add to the crumbling structure’s value. But that note of hopefulness is quickly replaced by terror as the mural spreads its cruel, nightmarish horror over Hayden and everyone in his life. Soon he's leading his own attack force made up of those who have managed to fend off the evil of the mural in their souls, but now must do so in physical terms…or die trying. The fictional debut of a new master of horror fiction!
One Way Out
On a train trip to Scotland with his chief clerk Martin Lee, London financier Morgan Dale is suddenly confronted by his embittered ex-Secretary, whom he's recently sacked. Janice Elton had once been obsessed with him, but the happily married Dale had spurned her romantic advances. Now, Janice wants her revenge. Returning to their carriage, Lee finds Dale alone with the dead body of Janice, whom Dale claims has committed suicide by taking strychnine. With the situation incriminating Dale, Lee advises him to remove any identification and throw the girl's body from the train. But when the police eventually identify her and come to believe she's been murdered, Lee begins to blackmail Dale. And then there's only One Way Out....
Violence Is the Only Solution
These three Vic Powers stories present hard-boiled dysfunctionality at its most intense and brutal best. These are not tales for the easily squeamish, or those who want to spend their hours leisuring in countryclub-style mystery puzzlers. These are the darkest of excursions into taut, tough, nasty crime and noir excesses, featuring a flawed and violent hero whose life leads him on a one-way ride down into the very depths of his own demonic hell! These are the back alleys of the human heart–filled with shadowy recesses, dirty little secrets, and the occasional gallant gesture of a very human man who’s just trying to keep his head above the muck that always is threatening to engulf him. Great crime reading in the 1950s style, where…VIOLENCE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION!
Vivacious Vixens & Blackmail Babes
Blackmail babes, dangerous dames, femme fatales, manic minxes, saucy strumpets, torrid trollops, vivacious vixens, and white trash wantons–men fall for them, men love them, men hate them, men wish they had never met these bombastic broads! Here are a novella and four short stories about such dudes, fellows, gentlemen, heels, husbands, killers, and patsies that wind up in trouble when they put their business where their business doesn't belong. See them as they try to squirm out of the messes they have made for themselves, and the strange events that follow–from murder to mayhem, desire to destiny, hell and havoc! One thing's for sure, though: life will never be the same for these poor saps! <P> Great noir reading!
Cold Bullets and Hot Babes
Detour if you dare into the dark alleys and twisted cul-de-sacs of the human heart. Brush shoulders with men whose eyes are as hard and cold as bullets—murderers, grifters, and hapless goofballs, who prey on the innocent and unsuspecting, often at their own peril. Against your better judgment, get up close and intimate with sizzling kiss-and-kill babes, and live to tell about it…or not! Eight hard-edged tales of criminals, killers, and their delectable molls.
The Curse of Bloodstone
“My home is nowhere, as is yours,” the old Cajun woman said. “Bloodstone is a place to forget.” “Forget? Never,” Vanessa said. “We came from Bloodstone. We will return to it. Why prevent me from going where happiness waits for me?” “You do not belong at Bloodstone. It is dead, and if you return you too will be dead....” A crumbling castle, a haunted village–and a love that would fulfill her destiny. But first, she must overcome…The Curse of Bloodstone! A riveting tale of gothic romantic suspense and the supernatural.
