It was a brutal killing. among the bullet-torn bodies lay Abruze, possessed of valuable information on the opium fields in Indochina, and living on a generous retirement from the Mafia, for services rendered. Another body belonged to an important AXE agent.

Universal Edition

The only lead was a terrified girl. who knew more than she was willing to admit, and less than her pursuers required. After her were a group of undisciplined thugs who would stop at nothing: the Mafia with Communist dealings and big money at stake, and Nick Carter. A desperate chase was on. To whomever reached her first it was a matter of life and death.

Award Edition

Fear and silence greeted Nick as he opened the doors leading to every girl in the little black book. The dirty black book that Moose had dropped on their first violent meeting. Nick was traveling incognito, but they all knew him, they all expected hi, and they all tried to buy off him with the tricks of the trade. Beautiful girls with exotic specialties, willing to give him the answers to his questions about Moose and Susan. They came on with love and soft words, and a look of terror in their eyes. So Nick plunged deeper into the sewers of stale flesh and Las Vegas neon, until he hit the bottom of the porno underground. And he learned the rock-hard truth about the only women he had ever loved.

Rendezvous With Dead Men

First off this in not a Nick Carter Killmaster Adventure. I picked this up on EBay recently and will read it. This title was published in 1948 by Vital Publications Inc.

1948 Vital Publications

Dead men held the secret. Even Nick Carter could not find a motive for the string of murders that started with the sudden, anguished gasps of Jonathon Wainwright as he lay dying. What link was there between the death of this distinguished gentleman in his beautiful study, and the bloated corpse found later on in a flooded underground tunnel? How did the ruthless crew of a Portuguese pirate ship come to be involved in the private affairs of one of America's oldest families? And what connection was there between the unknown map of the island, treasured and concealed by generations of Wainwrights, and the beautiful model of the clipper ship that old Jonathon was working on when the dread dagger found its mark deep in his back.

Walk Softly, Witch by Carter Brown

Horwitz Publications issued this title in two slight variations. One with main character Police Lieutenant Al Wheeler and the other with New York private eye Danny Boyd.

 Walk Softly Witch!

Eve, Its Extortion

The Victim

With Al Wheeler

He was less than a grand husband alive and worth more than fifty grand, dead!

Horwitz Edition

Three dolls and one corpse.

One was a merry widow with a new lease on life when her husband expired.

One was a luscious skip-tracer whose curves turned up in some unsavory joints.

One was a gorgeous receptionist who snapped to attention when a big girdle manufacturer purred.

Signet 1st printing

One or all of them knew whether it was an accident or a murder that converted a footloose husband into a rest-in-concrete corpse. And it's up to Lieutenant Al Wheeler to come up with an answer, fast!

A cue for murder. Danny Boyd's the name. He is a New York private eye and he will do anything for a fast buck or a fast dame. His first client is  a brunette actress with lust lines and loads of cash. She is willing to pay plenty to have her husband stashed away in a cozy sanitarium and she needs  Danny's help. The trouble comes when her clever little script clears the stage for murder.

Horwitz Edition

Danny Boyd's the name. It makes women quiver and gangsters quake. And it always spells curtains for a killer.

Robert McGinnis Cover

Danny tricks the husband into playing the part of  a homicidal maniac for a psychiatrist and the actor does such a good job that he wins a padded cell. The drama reaches an unexpected climax when the actor escapes. Two corpses make their entrance and Danny finds himself billed as the villain.

The Liquidator by Richard Hubbard

Alex Zenopolis, formerly of Greek Intelligence, will personally contact US agents in Greece within a week or so. Time and place to follow.

Universal Edition

The assignment seemed relatively simple. Nick Carter was to fly to Athens, hire a car and spend a few days nosing around the boat yards along the coast. At Pirgos he would pick up Alex's sister, Christina, then rent a sailing boat for a short cruise to Corfu. There he would contact Alex Zenopolis.

Tandem Edition

But the simplest assignments have a way of developing into deadly games. At all cost, he must stop a series of guerrilla attacks planned by the Vietcong, and the only person Nick Carter can trust is himself.

The Seductress by Carter Brown

One look at her and Danny Boyd knew that a blonde with her kind of eyes would be...murder!!!

Horwitz Edition

 

 Through the half-open bedroom door Danny Boyd glimpsed a gorgeous pair of legs. One neatly clad in sheer nylon and a high-heeled shoe, the other naked and barefoot. He walked in and saw the blonde lying on the bed. She was everything the first tantalizing view had promised. Sultry. Seductive. Scintillating. And they were alone together. Only one thing was wrong. Now he knew the reason for her one bare leg. Someone had wrapped the missing nylon tight around her pretty throat.

Robert McGinnis Cover

A beautiful blonde runaway: Her big-wheel uncle finally checked out her ID, in the morgue.

A statuesque brunette: She'd fallen hard for an ex-movie idol who threw the wildest parties in plush Santo Bahia.

A magnificent redhead: She was just what Danny Boyd had been looking for. And she played him for a sucker.

Before he finds out who has organized him into a neat murder frame, debonair Danny Boyd, the tough private eye with the super ego, is provoked into dangerous fun and games with guns and dames. And uncovers a dope scandal that's a killer!
