The wild women of the passionate cult are savage, wield a weird voodoo death hex, and all of them are virgins. The awesome Amazons have discovered the secret of sex without men! If the Coxeman can't cut it, every Tom, Dick, and Rod is doomed! Rod's fabled resources are stretched to the breaking point as he stiffens himself against the toughest resistance of his long career!

Treasure Chest by Glen Chase

The mob has hatched a massive art theft scheme,

Image her displeasure when three Mafioso button men break into an artist's studio where Cherry's lusciously nude derriere is being captured on canvas. The slobbering goons are disposed of in short order but the incident leads our semi-naked nympho to a sinister plot to reduce America's great art collection to the paint on the walls.

Crime Fiction Alphabet 2013: The Letter H

We are rolling along in the Crime Fiction Alphabet for 2013 meme. Currently we are a third of the way through with the Letter H. Kerry's Blog is kind enough to sponsor this community meme. The rules are very simple:  The posts must be related to either the first letter of a book's title, the first letter of an author's first name, or the first letter of the author's surname, or even maybe a crime fiction "topic". But above all, it has to be crime fiction. This time around I will be featuring a Carter Brown title for each letter of the alphabet.

 Carter Brown: H is for the Hellcat

Grant Roberts Cover

Al Wheeler tangles with a fiery redhead who has a flaming temper.

A sex kitten who can claw as she caresses, kiss.....as she kills.

Robert McGinnis Cover

  

Robert McGinnis Cover

 The very handsome head of a young man preserved in a glass jar. A family estate with its own private mausoleum. An entire valley hiding a fiendish crime committed five years ago. A syndicate executioner who carries out his deadly work in total darkness. This is the most ghoulish case Al Wheeler has ever handled. But it id also the most enticing. Because right in the middle, and  the very key to the crime, is a scintillating redhead with a very special talent.....for seduction.

 Personal Remembrance

Grandfather #1

He served with the 91st Infantry Division (The Wild West Division), 364 Infantry Regiment. He first saw action in World War I in the Battle of Saint-Mihiel (September 1918) and fought in the battles of The Meuse-Argonne Offensive and The Fifth Battle of Ypres. I was too young to remember a lot about him other than that he was blind. My mother has shared some stories through the years about her and my aunts growing up and driving the  Model T. He died in March 1977.

Grandfather #2

My other grandfather shared more while we was alive. He fought during the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy during World War II. He taught me a few German words and willed me his German dagger he brought back. He always shared stories about the war and loved to smoke fish, go on fishing trips, and made his own lures. He died on my birthday in 1987.

A hysterical undertaker finds an unidentified body laid out in one of his best coffins and summons Al Wheeler out of a deep sleep and into a walking nightmare. A nightmare that includes a murdered M.D., an ex-addict psychiatrist, a hypnotic blonde, and a sexy tease who flirts with death!

When Lieutenant Al Wheeler is called to investigate the unexpected body in a mortuary, he finds a shapely brunette, very much alive.

Carter Brown: F is for The Flagellator

She was Hollywood's hottest sex goddess,

until a killer cast her as the world's most glamorous corpse.

Robert McGinnis Cover

   One nice thing about being a sadist is that you can give more often than receive. Trouble is, your recipients are not always grateful. For Theo Altman, film director and torture master, the number of dissatisfied customers was legion. Prime, among them, a curvacious, copper-haired secretary whose private secrets were as well kept as she was, a screen goddess whose sudden flight from sanity was as mysterious as her fall from the cliff, and a very photogenic corpse.

Horwitz Edition

  Rick Holman's job was to sift out the crimes from the punishments and tie up the whole package for a well heeled producer. But when someone rewrote the scenario, adding blackmail, double-cross, and a Hollywood ending that could very well be Rick's own. She was a nymphet from the Oklahoma backwoods who had bed-hopped her way into stardom, Fluer Falaise, the Hollywood wonder chick who did not believe the sky was the limit, until the day it started falling. Fluer's decline started on her honeymoon, with her husband's drowning, continued through her second marriage, which put her in a sanitarium. It forced her into low grade pictures and even lower grade love affairs. It ultimately drover her right over the edge of the cliff. Her life so perfectly followed a movieland scenario that Holman could not understand why anyone would question her suicide attempt. But someone did, then someone else, and pretty soon the plot began to thicken as the script of Fluer's life.

Busted! by Glen Chase

There's buried treasure off the Florida coast.

But Cherry has to bury a few hit men before she can get to it.

"Gold, and Diamonds and Pearls, oh my!!"

Yes, a nice piece of change is gathering barnacles under the blue waves and Cherry hates to see shiny things get tarnished. So when Peter Henry calls her to Miami to defend the treasure hunters from the cretins of the Cosa Nostra, Cherry is only too happy to pack her negligee and take off. Of course, the whole thing would not be worth it without a little excitement, as Godson's were to learn to their dying shame.....

Too bad they had come together, in death.

Danny Boyd, the private eye with the profile no gal can resist, accepts a movie mogul's bid to track down a wandering, wanton star. He winds up playing fast with a loose redhead, and footy with a couple of thugs on a fifteenth-century Spanish galleon in sunny Florida, where the climate is perfect for murder.
