THE PERFECT VICTIM

Al Jackson, traveling salesman, knows that he isn't likely to get any equipment sales in Willow Creek, but he's nursing a hangover and stops here anyway. He's a friendly guy, on the road too long, and can't help flirting with the waitress, Grace. But Willow Creek folks don't take well to outsiders making time with their Grace. So when she is found murdered the next morning, everyone naturally assumes that the foreigner must have had something to do with it. And now Jackson is in jail while the town howls for blood. Only the real murderer knows what happened—and he has no intention of letting the salesman live to see a courtroom.

WINNER TAKE ALL

You've kicked around the world, a soldier of fortune. But nothing prepares you for a man who shows up in your San Francisco hotel claiming to be your twin, with an offer to switch places for ten thousand dollars. Yeah, there's going to be some rough stuff—you've got to settle your twin's gambling debt with some very dubious characters in Reno—but the money looks good, and you're up for it. You get to live the high life for awhile, which is something you could definitely get used to. But you don't figure on lovely Linda. And you sure don't figure on the neat double-cross that saps you right between the ears. Because, my friend, you've been swapped for murder!
