Description:

A Man on the run for his life...

A suspense novel to startle and shock...

Detective Sergeant Tom Valens was a tough man in a tough business--with an unblemished record, a long scar in his gut to prove his integrity and a beautiful ex-wife to prove his devotion to the Force.

Then one night he made a cop's worst mistake--and found himself alone, with ten days to clear his name and save his life. Ten chilling days which led to a gorgeous redhead named Liz, a secret potent enough to blow half of Los Angeles society sky-high, and a psychotic killer who would stop at nothing...including triple murder.

Description:

Miami. The city.

Rome. The man.

He’s a hard-living, hard-loving private detective, who’s been muscling through Miami’s vice longer than any punk in a baggy suit. He gets his fill of offers from women. But the brand of cruising he prefers is aboard his luxury power boat, the Straight Pass. The roads of pleasure and danger are many. But all the roads lead to Rome….

Filmed as "Tony Rome" in 1967. Then released as "Tony Rome"(1967) by the author based on the film script. It seemed a routine little job.... Just return a high-flying heiress to her worried papa. But some of a man's worst messes start out as routine little jobs. This one really hits the pedal, with a body on the floor of Tony's office, the head smashed by a bullet. The bait to catch the filler: a daisy-shaped, gold-and-diamond pin that couldn't bring enough to be worth anybody's trouble. Or worth murdering for...

Description:

A high-tension novel of the seething underworld of the professional crapshooter – where the women come easy and the points come hard.

Before young J.C. Cullen hit Chicago, nobody had ever heard of him. But Cully knew he had it- the cool, the guts, the skill, the magic... whatever it took to be a winner. The big-time players in Chicago had never seen anything like him. Within a week he was known in every gambling haunt in the city... every bar, brothel, striptease joint, and backroom. He was Cully the Arm, King of the crapshooters. He was hated, envied, respected... and lonely. Then he met Lorry. Beautiful, tempting, and evil as Hell. As skilled in sex as he was with dice. And far deadlier. The game she played had no rules – and no limit. Cully knew this, but he couldn't stop. Even though the stake was his own life.
