So Move The Body by Carter Brown

So Move The Body

Signet Edition

The Harassed Heiress

was a real knockout and was about to come into millions of cool cash. How could such a desirable and well endowed doll have any problems? Why had someone voted her "most likely murder victim of the year"? Danny Boyd didn't know the reason, but he was getting a fat retainer and a week as a way out house party to find out. So it was off to Santo Bahia, to be threatened by an apeman, madly pursued by the house nympho, and made the prime suspect in " the case of the roving beach body." Boyd couldn't understand how a seemingly simple case had turned into a jet-set hunt for the skeleton in the closet. With Danny 's frame being measured for its place on the rack.

Improbable Cause by J. A. Jance

When the dentist is a sadist, an appointment can be murder...

The dentist was sitting bolt upright in his chair. Stone-cold dead. 

Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont had plenty of suspects. Like the dentist's wife, who, after ten years of brutal beatings, certainly had the motive to kill. Or the pretty dental assistant, whose late night services would never appear on her resume. Or the ex-con who was the last person to see the dentist alive, and was an intimate friend of the widow. Beaumont knew he was closing in on his prey. But when a new piece of evidence surfaced, he discovered the true meaning of evil, and decided the killer should go free!

When gutsy Arlette Alfani, a brilliant and beautiful Monaco lawyer, asks Pete for help, it's no cry in the dark. A former client of hers, the notorious killer and jewel thief, Andre Colin, has escaped from jail and the police think she arranged it. Pete puts himself on the case, scouting the discos and street-life of Paris and the hills of Monaco, chasing every clue to a million-dollar scam in stolen gems and a missing mob boss. What he discovers is an insidious connection to a secret society called the Midnight Sister and a lone, brutalized women he must protect from Colin's revenge. If only Pete can keep her healthy enough, long enough, and keep himself that way too!

Horwitz Edition

Max Dumas saw the dame first, but Benny insisted they toss, so Max flipped the coin and landed him a seat next to her, and a pack of trouble any gambler would be ashamed to admit to. By the law of averages the brunette should have looked Max up when they landed at Begota. But how could she? She was dead? It was time for Benny and Max to skip, but the ebony carving with the map inside intrigued Max. Seems it did others. They slipped in, like a Micky Finn, and even left a memento of their visit, a corpse in the closet. Then the dead women's sister, a dame whose statistics were more interesting than any competitor's figure, offered  them a proposition. Find the lost Inca city and they would be millionaires. Benny and Max flew to Malo and found the treasure. But they had not gambled on being double-crossed by a dame, whose pay-off was a promise that maybe in a hundred years some would discover their bones!

The Pipes Are Calling by Carter Brown

A jet-set beauty involves private eye Danny Boyd in her high-powered 

world of orgies, investments, and cold-blooded murder!

Corpse On A Chandelier

Private eye Danny Boyd and his beautiful buxom client Melanie Rigby walk right into a set up. The cabin was deserted, the lights were out, and Melanie's millionaire hubby was dangling above their heads with his throat slit. Boyd was not about to be the fall guy for anyone, especially when Melanie was ready to foot the bill if he could catch the killer. But in the tight-knit world of Santo Bahia's upper crust, pinning the knife blade on the murderer was no kid's game. Danny found his work really cut out for him when  he started playing hide-and-seek with the wealthiest people in town, but one orgy, kidnapping, and bed-to-bed leap later. Danny was almost convinced he had the killer. All he needed was a little more proof to slam the cell door on this stab-and-run artist. Unless his quarry twisted the knife into Danny first!
