RUN FOR YOUR LIFE by Sterling Noel

THE VIOLENT ONES by E. Howard Hunt
Paul Cameron walks out of prison after a stint for assault…and heads straight to Paris to find a lost shipment of gold that was smuggled in by the U.S. during WWII to fund the resistance. From the instant he lands in France, he’s plunged into a maelstrom of intrigue, violence, and murder.
THE COUNTERFEIT COURIER by James Sheers
Judson Van Horn is a U.S. spy who is growing weary of the game…and the killing. He is the personification of brute menace, powerful, clever, tough and pitiless. And he knows that his latest mission could force him into betrayal and murder in the name of God and country. But he does it anyway, because that is who is he is….and all he knows.
THE CHEAT by Robert Dietrich (a pseudonym for E. Howard Hunt)
Robert Webster goes to Paris to find himself, and his creative soul, after doing hack-work as a Hollywood screenwriter. He finds Hildreath instead — rich, beautiful, dissolute, who fled to France to satisfy deep, carnal desires no American woman would dare admit to feeling. They begin an affair that’s comfortable and warm… until he makes a shocking discovery that reveals her raw, naked lust. There’s no love in what she’s doing. It’s coarse and cruel and undeniable. .and it will shatter their lives.
