THE KILLERJake Farrow has spent his life hunting big game-he's one of the best. Still, he is a bit surprised when his old friend Walter Stennis has him brought over from Africa for a special hunt. Stennis wants him to track down and kill the armed robber responsible for the death of his son. Farrow reluctantly agrees, but is soon thrown into a mission more deadly than he bargained for when he meets the bank robber's Southern wife, Marget, intent on protecting her man. Then there's Sam Augustine, who's working on a manhunt of his own. And Terese, the alluring key to the killer's hideout. Farrow will need all of his skills, because it soon becomes obvious that in this deadly game, there is small distinction between the hunter--and the hunted. DEVIL ON TWO STICKSSteve Beck works for Pat Garland, the crime boss of San Diego. Garland suspects a traitor in the organization, and sets Beck to ferret him out. Beck has five suspects-Sid Dominic, Eddie Cortes, Hervey Isham, Paul Moon and J. J. Everett. Each one holds a position of power, but only one is working for the Attorney General's office. Beck suspects Everett, Garland's lawyer. But Beck is also falling in love with Everett's 20-year-old daughter, Marcy, while at the same time trying to fend off the advances of Garland's wife, Lena. Torn between his allegiance and his heart, Beck finds he isn't as tough as he thinks he is-because whoever the informer turns out to be, it's still his job to kill him. And the weakest link in the organization is turning out to be Beck.
