One Endless Hour by Dan J Marlowe

Drake

"The Man With Nobody's Face"

Drake had a new face, a new name, and he had buried the past. Most of it, anyways. In unmarked graves. They had all been double crossed bastards. Now he needed a new deal, something he could handle alone. Like a nice, quiet town. But somebody had other plans for Drake. Suddenly it was too late to back out, and too early to die..........

Backfire by Dan Marlowe

He Fell In Love With Another Cop's Wife

Then Had To Go Out And Find His Killer

Stakeout For A Killer

They were tough, ambitious cops, Marty Donovan and Tony Alfieri, a good precinct team. They agreed on most things except dames. Tony chased anything in skirts and Marty hated the look of  Lenore Alfieri's face every time her husband cheated. Hated it enough to fall in love with her himself.

Operation Drumfire by Dan J Marlowe

Operation Drumfire

The minute Drake saw Karl Erikson coming towards him, he smelt trouble. Every time special agent Erikson had a job too dirty and dangerous for one of Uncle Sam's bona fide undercover men, he just naturally thought of Drake. Drake couldn't afford to say no to Uncle Sam. His past was all to present, in Erikson's files. This time though, Drake almost did say no. Because Uncle Sam wanted Hazel, too. And Drake preferred his women alive.

Drake

He wasn't a good man

He wasn't a bad man

But his name was Earl Drake

And that was the difference

As a bank robber and safe cracker, Drake felt a bit out of place playing undercover agent for Uncle Sam. But he had no choice. One of the top brass in U.S. Intelligence had his number. So they made a deal, his silence for Drake's services in tracking down a gang of Mid-East terrorists. Besides, Drake had a personal in the job. They stole $75,000 from him. Drake started with a Turkish delight, Talia, He conned her into leading him from the bedroom to the inner most sanctum. He wished he didn't. One look at the cold bulbous eyes in the mound of flesh seated on the sofa before him told Drake he had stepped in the path of a rattlesnake. And if he couldn't charm it, Drake was a dead man.

Drake

He wasn't a good man, he wasn't a bad man, 

but his name was Earl Drake and that was the difference

When Hazel, Drake's gorgeous redhead, told him she was going to accompany the lovely Chen Yi all the way to Taiwan for the reading of the will, the journey seemed innocent enough.

Before it even started, a ghastly triple murder involving high-ranking Chinese and American diplomats explodes onto the front pages.He did not know the killings concerned him. Not then, but he was to find out soon enough.
