Walk Softly Witch!
Eve, Its Extortion
The Victim
With Al Wheeler
He was less than a grand husband alive and worth more than fifty grand, dead!

| Horwitz Edition |
Three dolls and one corpse.
One was a merry widow with a new lease on life when her husband expired.
One was a luscious skip-tracer whose curves turned up in some unsavory joints.
One was a gorgeous receptionist who snapped to attention when a big girdle manufacturer purred.
Signet 1st printing
One or all of them knew whether it was an accident or a murder that converted a footloose husband into a rest-in-concrete corpse. And it's up to Lieutenant Al Wheeler to come up with an answer, fast!

Walk Softly, Witch
So Deadly Sinner!
With Danny Boyd
Introducing Danny Boyd
 | ||
| Barye Cover |
A cue for murder. Danny Boyd's the name. He is a New York private eye and he will do anything for a fast buck or a fast dame. His first client is a brunette actress with lust lines and loads of cash. She is willing to pay plenty to have her husband stashed away in a cozy sanitarium and she needs Danny's help. The trouble comes when her clever little script clears the stage for murder.
 | |
| Horwitz Edition |
Danny Boyd's the name. It makes women quiver and gangsters quake. And it always spells curtains for a killer.
 | |
| Robert McGinnis Cover |
Danny tricks the husband into playing the part of a homicidal maniac for a psychiatrist and the actor does such a good job that he wins a padded cell. The drama reaches an unexpected climax when the actor escapes. Two corpses make their entrance and Danny finds himself billed as the villain. A villain who is scheduled to die before the final curtain.
