The Nick Carter & Carter Brown Blog: Crime Fiction Alphabet 2013: The Letter V: Part I

The Crime Fiction Alphabet keeps rolling along in the home stretch with a few more weeks until the end. We are currently in week 22 with the letter V. Kerrie over at her blog Mysteries in Paradise is kind enough to host this community meme. The rules a quite simple. By Friday of each week participants write a blog post about crime fiction related to the letter of the week. The post must be related to either the first letter of a book's title, the first letter of an author's first name, or the first letter of the author's surname, or even maybe a crime fiction "topic". But above all, it has to be crime fiction. This time around I will be featuring a Carter Brown title for each letter of the alphabet.

Too many girls can be too much of a good thing, especially when the redhead is a liar, the brunette is frigid, and the blonde is dead. So dead that someone had doped, strangled, and killer her just to make sure. Fast-talking, Al Wheeler, tangles with a bedlam of babes, a garment-trade crime king, a malevolent millionaire, and an efficient murderer who deals in death at a discount.
