The Peking Connection by Don Smith

Secret Mission: The Peking Connection


The man in the cotton mask......
CIA agent Phil Sherman would give anything to see behind that mask. But when he finally did, he wished he hadn't been born with eyes.!

The girl with the lightning quick hands......
Beautiful, as expert at killing with Karate and Kung Fu as she was in bed, she was supposed to be the CIA's friend. But there was something strange about her that made Sherman wonder who she was really working for!

The mysterious Chinese businessman......
He had a nasty habit of carrying lethal gas on his monthly trips from New York to the Orient.

It was like a Chinese box puzzle. Each layer took Phil Sherman a step closer to the Peking government and the secret forces that wanted to topple it in a blood bath that would engulf the world!

See It Again, Sam by Carter Brown

They were powerful, rich, and famous
And one of them was a murderer



An Eye For An Eye
Former film star Samantha Dane's career had been viciously curtailed when some unknown person threw acid in her beautiful face during a luxurious Caribbean cruise. Sam hired Rick Holman to track down the other members of the party. Among whom were a power-mad tycoon, a bisexual hooker, a nymphomaniac fortune teller, and a sadistic gangster. Each of them had a good reason to hate Samantha's guts, and one would gladly kill to keep Rick from finding out truth!

Hot Rocks by Glen Chase

Billions are at stake as Cherry battles the Mafia for control of the international diamond trade


Cherry: Delicious But Deadly
Diamonds are not necessarily a girl's best friend, not when she has to compete with the Mafia to get them. Our deadly but delicious heroine is flying over the vast Kalahari Desert on the first leg on a long planned African vacation. But down there among the sun blasted rocks three Mafia killers are stalking a geologist with a pocketful of gems and a map to the biggest diamond field on Earth. Cherry blitzes the killers and there goes her vacation. Her new assignment is to stop the Mob from getting a stranglehold on the billion dollar international diamond trade. The action speeds from Capetown to Marrakesh to Amsterdam, as N.Y.M.P.H.O.'s sexist agent uses beds and bullets to lay the Mafia low.

Pipeline by Paul Malone

In the DEA, it's now how you play the game....
It's whether you win or lose


Dealer's Choice
Miami based DEA maverick Jack Fowler has seen the good guys fall, along with the bad. But for Jack Fowler and the dedicated men and women committed to the long and bloody U.S. war on drugs, risk came with the job, and he willingly accepted both. A top DEA agent is tortured and murdered while working undercover in the realm of Mexico's drug kingpin, Miguel Reynoso. Fowler smells a rat, a traitor on the home team. Posing as a dealer, he hits the streets of Mexico in an effort to gain access to Reynoso's desert stronghold. On paper, the operation had the makings of a classic sting. But Fowler's chosen prey is an expert hunter, capable of smelling danger in the wind. One wrong step, and his attempt to even the score would become a one way ticket beneath the blazing sun, with nowhere to go but hell.

Haitian Vendetta by Don Smith

Secret Mission 
#15



The CIA washed its hands of Phil Sherman. Now that he was thoroughly briefed, all further contact with HQ was severed. No records, no files, no trace of the man the Agency sent into Haitian hell to investigate the sadistic chief of the Tontons Macoutes, Haiti's brutal, infamous  secret police. The Haitian strongmen were fighting and killing for their lives. The winner will take all because in this game there were only dead losers. Word is out that Sherman's quarry is top dog, with outside assistance from Castro in Cuba. The information is correct as far as Washington knows. But the real story and Phil Sherman's actual assignment, isn't apparent until he blows his cover and is engulfed by primitive voodoo vengeance and some very sophisticated modern torture.

Lawyer Randy Roberts tangles with a trio of sex-starved sisters whose lascivious lust for loot leads to.......

Robert McGinnis Cover
Who Murderer Momma?
The cops called it an accident. But attorney Randy Roberts knew the smell of murder. Someone had taken old lady Birrel for an unwilling ride off the edge of a cliff, and with five million bucks to gain, all clues pointed to the batty gal's daughters as the prime suspects. But who would grown impatient? Hannah, the mousy, fearful vegetable of a women with king-sized lusts? Or Rhoda the splendidly stacked nympho whom the family kept chained in a basement cell? Or was it Ruth, the smouldering hunk of sex and cynicism whose interests in Robert's "briefs" was more than just legal? Finding the truth, Roberts knew, called for the most intimate of investigations. The kind you undertake with your defenses up, and your clothes off.
