Carter Brown: G is for Girl In A Shroud
When a sexy spook scares up a case of murder,
Al Wheeler finds himself in trouble...six feet deep!
She was just another corpse in a casket, until she smiled. Her black
shroud was diaphanous. Her eyes were dangerous. And she wasn't dead at
all!. 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. Her unorthodox behavior rocks the unorthodox cop but the subsequent appearance of a genuine corpse and the disappearance of a quarter of a million dollars from a guarded bank vault sends him hot on the trail of murder!

Scott - Interesting premise - a body that isn't a dead body! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI must have seen that Robert McGinnis cover (US version) before... it looks very familiar. I like the top two covers also.
