Carter Brown: C is for Catch Me A Phoenix!
When the breathtaking blonde with breathtaking ideas was sent to London to buy antiques, she took Danny Boyd along for protection. That was fine with Danny, until hot loot led him into double trouble that was almost too hot to handle....
How a tawny-eyed blonde...
A sizzling brunette....
A pair of priceless antiques....
Add up to murder.....
When Danny Boyd met a London bombshell who freewheeled a juggernaut through the quiet English countryside, he throught, "They don't speak Englsih in England!" She talked about ponces and birds, and skivvies, and layabouts, whatever they were! But then the hell-raking sensation took off her shiny leather skirt, she took off her black sweater, she stood there in her glistening black boots and black garters, and Danny, jet propelled, crashed through the language barrier!

It came to London via Bill Donavan. He invited a small select group to
bid for it. They had nothing in common, except a seven figure bank
account and the lust for the treasure. And they will stop at nothing to
get it, well almost anything!

Scott - I always think these covers are such interesting reflections of the times and cultures. And it's interesting that some feature the brunette and some the blonde...
