No Halo For Hedy by Carter Brown

No Halo For Hedy

If one  is a keen golfer, one will understand there's nothing more irritating than finding something interfering with the lie of one's golf balls on the green. Whoever left the corpse there was no golfer. The real trouble started when Clinton Rudd figured that, as Russ Burton wrote mystery stories, he would solve the murder faster than the cops. So Russ investigated the corpse and found it had been quite a guy. By comparison,  a skunk is a gentleman. There were plenty of suspects, plenty of action, almost like the stories Russ wrote for a living. There were so many people with good reason to kill him, one couldn't have blamed them if they had formed a co-operative to do the job. Then Russ meets the girl of his dreams, Hedy! She was wonderful and he loved her. There's only one thing really worrying him now. Will she be any different after they've sat her in the death chair?

Crime Fiction Alphabet 2013: The Letter Q

The Crime Fiction Alphabet keeps rolling along. We are currently in week 17 with the letter Q. Kerrie over at her blog Mysteries in Paradise is kind enough to host this community meme. The rules a quite simple. By Friday of each week participants write a blog post about crime fiction related to the letter of the week. The post 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: Q is for

Wait there is no Carter Brown title starting with the Letter Q

So the next best thing, similar author and a real title starting with the Letter Q.

Nick Carter: Q is for The Q-Man

A technical genius plots to devastate the U.S continent!

George Gross Cover

   Earthquake!

When Nick Carter flew over San Diego all he could see was a dense cloud of brick dust. The city was virtually gone. Next stop was Los Angeles, as the quake worked its way up the fault line. And the devastation was man-made! The only suspects both deny that the quakes could be technologically induced. But AXE records prove that either one had the skill and the equipment to be the Q-Man. Nick has to find out who it is before the continent is utterly destroyed!

gets the ultimate snow job,

and just might come to regret it

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

Who's the biggest

Coxeman of them all?

Rod Damon wakes up dreaming, with Snow White and her Seven very peculiar Dwarfs. Bizarre bedmates even for the Coxeman but big Rod hasn't seen the half of it. Before the opening bars of "Someday My Prince Will Come" are finished, he's off in hot pursuit of a Maoist group that wants to make Canada safe for the Red Chinese and, even worse, permanently cut off Rod as Coxeman extraordinaire. On the chase he finds a mat hating blonde sorely in need of straightening out. Some home movies literally too hot to handle. And a cabbie named Bess whose meter is always running. A lot of action for the Coxeman, but Rod, always willing to go down trying, learns it's even possible to whistle while you work!

Until it led to killing.

Kinky

Cherry Delight, star agent of N.Y.M.P.H.O. (New York Mafia Harassment Organization) was on her way to a date when a mugger made the mistake of attacking her.

When, a day later, four Mafia hoods tried the same stunt on her she became downright mad, and decided to get to the bottom  of things.

He is the last hope of Ravaged America!

Fortress America
Decimated in a deadly rain of treachery and deceit, its great cities and vast countryside reduced to a war-blackened landscape, the United States is united no longer. But out of the blasted ruins emerges the brilliant ace fighter pilot Hawk Hunter, a lone warrior battling to keep the spirit of America in the hearts of his countryman. From his secret base in the coastal wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, Hunter hears rumors of strange lights and sonic booms in the northern skies, of a vast armada sailing toward the West Coast that suddenly vanishes, of  any army equipped with Russian SAMs and armor hidden deep in the Dakota Badlands. The reports can mean only one thing, a second fiery showdown with Russian overlords and their armies of destruction. With the fate of a shattered nation hanging in the balance, it's up to Hawk Hunter to rally the armies of freedom and strike one last bold and bloody blow for a cause know as America!
