Dan J. Marlowe's OPERATION WHIPLASH. One of the later Earl
Drakes. I searched for this on Google and turned up Mr.
Nummelin in the archives saying it's not very good. So it
goes.
Richard S. Prather's THE WAILING FRAIL, a 1956 Shell Scott.
"Get out your guns and lock up your gals--here comes Shell
Scott!" "Man-oh-murder, this frail could wail her head
off-but only a hurricane of violence could blast me loose
from her side ... it did!"
A fistful of John D. MacDonalds: THE PRICE OF MURDER,
CONTRARY PLEASURE
("Evil casts a long shadow"), THE CROSSROADS ("She knew all
about men and very little about murder. But she was willing
to learn--for a quarter of a million bucks..."), A BULLET FOR
CINDERELLA, CLEMMIE ("She was a sex kitten with the claws of
a tigress") and PLEASE WRITE FOR DETAILS ("Art, erotica and
tequila"). I haven't read any of these before, and they all
look good. This brings my count of JDMs to 48, all
paperbacks, all second-hand, mostly banged-up.
