Injustice For All

by J.A. Jance

A dead man, a luscious lady, and a homicide cop have one thing in common...murder!

Vengeance Is Mine

J.P. Beaumont is on vacation in the San Juan Islands with Anne Corley still on his mind. He is sleeping in his hotel room by the shore when he hears a woman screaming. He is spurred out to help her drag a man's body from the cold water. He is dead. He was her friend and co-worker. Ginger Watkins and the dead man, Sig Larson, both worked for the Washington State Parole Board. J.P. helps Ginger back to his room to warm her up while they wait for the police. He learns that she is the wife of a prominent political figure running for re-election in Washington. She wants to divorce her husband, and the dead man had been her supportive friend. They had been threatened by a man whose wife and daughter had been killed by a convict they had allowed out on parole. The man, Don Wilson, is now fighting to change the system to gain assistance for victims and reformation in the Parole Board. He didn't want what happened to his family to happen to someone else. He also threatened that Watkins and her friend would "pay." The police now start looking for Wilson. Beau finds himself working to protect the Parole Board. As a cop, he and the Board rarely see eye-to eye. But something is going on. As more people related to the Board die, and he is framed for one of the deaths, he knows he has to discover the truth. Is that the connection, or is there another angle?

The Bright Blue Death by Nicholas Browne

The Bright Blue Death

by Nicholas Browne

Nick's tracking the source of an epidemic...of revenge!

George Gross Cover

They called themselves the Teutonic Knights, and they were neo-Nazis thirsting for revenge of the Fatherland. A half-mad genius was leading them with dreams of ruling the world. He has the means to destroy if if any one dared to resist. The first steps had already been taken. Carefully selected victims were dying from a mysterious painful disease. Each one vital to their countries survival. It was Nick Carter's job to destroy the madness. His success was riding on two sultry and sensuous women. One was scornful and a headstrong Swede who was supposed to be Nick's partner. The other was a treacherous amoral American who was his enemy.

The dwarf laughed, his body shaking with glee. He liked to see beautiful women tortured.

The giant with the mind of a child stared. He did not understand the terrible scene before him.

The girl was bored, her face betrayed no emotion. She had seen the scares and heard the screams too often.

The count was seething with rage. He was going to prolong the agony for a long time.

The setting was in a vast meeting hall of the Teutonic Knights. Before them on a table, lay a lovely blonde woman. Her eyes had fear in them. From head to her heart wires ran to a small control panel next to the count. The count turned to the big American at his side and said "Your next, Nick Carter."

Mantrap

by Duane Yarnell

She was free and she was easy...but she was...murder!

Danger Red Head 2 miles

Is what the road sign should have said. But Mark Fletcher wouldn't cared anyway. For a city slicker he had very primitive ideas about women. Except that he hadn't bargained for Rusty. She had flaming hair, eyes the color of fresh minted greenbacks and a skin tight sweater that left no room for doubt. The only thing she liked better than a man was two men. She never took money from a guy if she could steal it first. And in a seamy shore town like Inlet city a dame like Rusty was live bait …for murder!
