Sinner, You Slay Me! by Carter Brown

I'm stuck with the wife I haven't married and a murder I haven't committed

Reprinted By Demand Series

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 Wench Is Wicked by Carter Brown

Lieutenant Al Wheeler's debut

Bernard Blackburn Cover

Al Wheeler is just a cop. A plain simple cop even if Captain Parker figures Al is the most unorthodox Lieutenant who stepped beyond the line of duty to take a blonde home. The patrolman finds a corpse in a gravel pit. Al finds Deidre Damour in her room at the hotel. That is a story in itself! But there is more... A cop gets permanently retired with a bullet in the head. Al gets suspended for some trivial reason, they think he let the murderer escape and he mislaid a cop car someplace. So that leaves Al a lot of time on his hands, time to fill and the only way he can think of filling it is to look up some people he knows. Goldie, the thrush at the "Eldorado". The blonde receptionist at the Valley Hotel who can't be as dumb as she looks. Deidre, the answer to a million guy's prayers when they are not saying them out loud. But like some guy said, "If it isn't women, it's work". And Al has some bright ideas about who might have done the murdering and that's not really good because that gives the murderer some bright ideas about Al. He would not mind taking that step, except it's around a hundred feet down to the next one. He wouldn't take it but for the gun in his back!
