The Poisoners by Donald Hamilton

With trouble like this,

there's only one man to call:

Matt Helm

1984 Ballantine Edition

Matt Helm #13

This one was murder from the start. A lovely red-haired lass whose amateur standing as a secret agent had been cut short by some very professional killers. The strange part of it was that she had not been on assignment. Nobody had a clue as to what she had found. But obviously she had found something. Something very big and very bad. Too much for her, but just the right size for Matt Helm.

Trial By Fury by J.A. Jance

Beaumont is caught in center court in a lethal game of lynch mob justice.

A J.P. Beaumont Mystery

The Evil That Me Do

The body lay amid the garbage behind a Seattle grocery store. A tall, well-built male...dead. Detective J.P. Beaumont's twenty years on the force had given him a sixth sense about people, especially guilty ones. So when he found out the victim, a high school basketball coach with a very pregnant wife, had been lynched. Beau suspected this murder was connected with the extremes of love and hatred. Love for the wrong kind of woman, and the hate for those who took justice into their own blood-soaked hands.
