The Penthouse Murders

Gregory Gayle, the detective known as the Gunmaster, faces an impossible case when a millionaire is murdered in a sealed fortieth-floor penthouse—the fifth such killing in a week with no sign of forced entry. When a chance encounter at the circus with a performer known as the Human Fly sends Greg down a new investigative path, he uncovers a criminal mastermind using gravity-defying suction cups to scale buildings and rob penthouses from the inside. Now Greg must race against time to stop the killer from striking again, armed with his trusty new .357 Magnum revolver.

The Golden Cobra
5 pp · crime

When Detective Tom Ruggles catches word of a murder at the Beacon Hotel in Erie, Pennsylvania, he discovers the victim is Dr. Lloyd, a world traveler found with his head bashed in—and a mysterious figure known only as E. Sariz, who checked into the room that morning, has vanished. As Ruggles pieces together clues from hotel staff, phone records, and Dr. Lloyd's widow's story of an ancient Indian curse tied to a stolen golden cobra, the trail leads him across state lines in pursuit of a killer who may be hiding under an assumed name. With the murder weapon abandoned on the back stairs and witnesses spotting a Hindu fleeing the scene, Ruggles must untangle whether superstition or cold-blooded greed drove the crime.

Pete Stockbridge, known as the Chameleon, arrives to investigate the case and uncover what really lies beneath that suspicious patch. As pressure mounts and a deadline looms, the Chameleon must work fast to clear the brothers' names before false accusations turn into irreversible tragedy.
