The Nichovev Plot by Craig Nova

Soviet Premier Kidnapped!
Nick's mission is to find him before detente turns to wholesale murder!

Charter Reprint
Pravda screamed for war. The CIA and the FBI were helpless. AXE had one lead: a telegram that said Nichovev would be executed in four days, signed "The Great Mother, Who is Death, and the Old Man of the Mountains, who is her Deputy on Earth." Nick Carter had little time to locate the headquarters of an international organization of death-worshiping occultist who, behind the smokescreen of comparative religion, practices human sacrifice. They killed for one reason: they worshiped death and were addicted to it. 

Now they were prepared a high priority offering. Their habit was growing so they devised a scheme for starting war by assassinating the Soviet Premier!

Dr. Death by Craig Nova

By Craig Nova
Dr Death was billed as the 100th Nick Carter "Killmaster" Adventure. Somebody made a mistake in the counting, Dr Death was actually the 98th Nick Carter. The special features in this book were the very first Nick Carter, Run, Spy, Run from 1964, and the title The Preposterous Theft. The Preposterous Theft was a Nick Carter revival from the golden age of the American mystery.

Dr Death

Kidnapped:  A top nuclear scientist with knowledge vital to Western security.
Tortured:  A harmless merchant whose dying words were as enigmatic as his murder.
Massacred:  The screaming patrons of a Tangier nightclub, slaughtered along with the key AXE informer in their midst.

To Nick Carter, Killmaster N3, each viscous crime marked another stage in a terrifying global strategy that stretched from the reeking contagion of a San Juan leper colony to the impregnable stronghold of a secret military organization, a group that had forged an extortion plot on an undreamed scale!
