Dead Donavans tell no tales!

International playboy Paul Donavan and his loyal butler-bodyguard Hicks were in Hong Kong because of an S.O.S. from an old friend, Pat Delaney. Then Pat turned up dead and his lovely mistress put herself in Donavan's protective roving hands, and suddenly Paul was involved in a game of hide-and-seek with three gun-toting, explosives-setting syndicates that would rather see him eliminated than taking up where Pat left off. At a time like that there was only one thing to do. Get out of town on a Chinese junk. But after a slow trip on a safe boat, complete with wine, women, and weapons, Donavan knew he had to quit philandering and come ashore firing, or risk one of the big three blowing up his future with one big boom....!

Bullets, bodies, and blackmail

was the script that gave private eye Rick Holman a starring role in a Hollywood caper which set pistols and shutters clicking. Of course, Rick should have known better than to accept the job when his movie making client offered him a buxom and very willing brunette, just to sweeten the deal. And he should have called it quits the moment that other well-stacked babe showed up, with love in her eyes and nothing but murder and money on her mind. But Rick was determined to play his part to the end. At least, until he discovered the last scene finished a big finale. A real show stopper were Rick Holman would smile innocently at the camera while some big, bad thug filled him full of real live lead...!
