The Terrible Ones by Valerie Moolman

The Terrible Ones
by Valerie Moolman

The Chicoms called it "Operation Blast" N3 knew it would boil the Caribbean into a sea of turbulent passions and international disaster.


The Master Spy
The Chinese Communists were not sunning themselves in beautiful Dominica. Not by a long shot! And "Operation Blast" was no cute name for a drinking contest. Trujillo's last diabolical joke had left a hundred million dollars in potential munitions money for the war mongers to snap at, a fortune in gold and jewels buried somewhere on the island, hidden right under everybody's nose!


The Chicoms knew their "Operation Blast" could ring the US with the worlds biggest funeral wreath. Voodoo drums throbbed in the Caribbean night. Weird Djuba cries were in the air. And if Nick Carter did not have his hands full with the Communist crape hangers and the fanatic Fidelistos, there were always those beautiful women called "The Terrible Ones" to keep him occupied.

I Know My Love by Fan Nichols

I Know My Love
by Fan Nichols

They were two of a kind...and
Their kind didn't play by any rules


Margo was many things to many men.....

To Harley, the chauffer, she was a tantalizing prize that he intended to win, no matter what he had to do.

To Curtis Frayne, she was a luscious stepdaughter whom he'd initiated into the pleasures of sex. Now she  needed his guidance in more complicated affairs.

To Jim, the private eye, she was a tempting antagonist. His job was to keep his eyes on her, but he couldn't keep his hands off her.

Was any of them man enough to handle that strange mixture of beauty and bitchiness called  Margo Leeds?

Sinner, You Slay Me! by Carter Brown

Sinner, You Slay Me!
Carter Brown

Always knock before entering your own flat. I didn't and found a wife I hadn't married and the murder I hadn't committed.


Squeak it was called. The hottest of the scandal mags. And Marcus Mouse had just got a job with them. Maybe it was an unfortunate coincidence that his name happened to be Mouse. Isobel, the girl he loved, thought he was more Mouse than Man. His first assignment was in Hollywood. His editor, Herman J. Herman, thought of everything. He even supplied him with a wife. One would expect a star like Lola Monterey who was currently disposing of her fourth and gazing starry-eyed at her fifth to be murdered, wouldn't you? Well she wasn't. But the murder centered around her. Of course there were other girlfriends, and just to make it cost, Isobel arrived on the scene. Mouse had told her he was not really married to Virginia, it wouldn't have helped, but then there was the second murder, with Marcus set up as the fall guy for it. He did not have time for dames any more, well, almost!

The Eyes Of The Tiger by Manning Lee Stokes

The Eyes Of The Tiger
by Manning Lee Stokes


The little room, buried deep in the living rock of the old Schloss, reeked of evil and pain. Rader and his men did not wear black hoods and masks, but the effect was the same, they were torturers...

The young baroness' feet were already anchored to the rack. She was screaming in terror. The curse of the golden statue with the ruby eyes was about to claim another victim.


Nick Carter is given the task of recovering some Nazi loot. This loot is from a Japanese temple that was presented to Adolph Hitler as a token of Axis partnership. As the story goes, the loot lay in a a Swiss bank account protected by a kill on sight order by two hand picked elite SS guards.

The 13th Spy by Valerie Moolman

The 13th Spy
by Valerie Moolman

Moscow is the hotspot for the "AXE" group's most explosive action


When an American CIA agent posted in Moscow is killed in an accident in Russia, and American Embassy records are in his briefcase disclosing top-secret recordings of Russian conversations, it looks like the American agent was spying on Russia. But when hallucinating drugs are found in his system, they are not so sure it’s an American plot, but decide to use it to force America to prove that it wasn’t; just in case it’s their pals the Red Chinese. Nick Carter is sent to Russia in a complicated maneuver disguised first as another agent Russia knows about, and then assumes the guise of a mole. When he first arrives he’s saddled with one of their top agents, to keep an eye on him. A woman, of course, but she is gargantuan, and has a sense of humor. Nick instantly takes a liking to her; he does find a Russian ballerina to have an affair with on the side. There is a secret Brotherhood of 12, consisting of Chinese agents, seeking to cause problems between Russia and America, while obtaining Russian secrets for themselves.
