JOHNNY CHURCH PI: TWO FULL NOVELS brings together the complete, long-lost adventures of Vechel Howard’s hard-boiled private investigator Johnny Church—back in print after sixty years.
In MURDER WITH LOVE, Church is in Las Vegas tracking Mira Whitney, a seductive grifter who drains men of cash and vanishes. Now she’s escalated to blackmail—and possibly murder. Mira has two sides, and Church risks falling for either one, into her bed or into a grave.
“It’s one of those cases that gets him so personally involved that you wonder when it’s over whether there will ever be another one,” wrote Mystery Files.
MURDER ON HER MIND sends Church to Mexico to find the killer of a hard-partying American playboy. Three women, a calculating ex-wife, a crooked lawyer, and a vicious blackmail scheme turn the case lethal.
“Pretty suspenseful reading,” said the St. Albans Daily Messenger. “
There’s something gloriously kitschy in the Johnny Church books. They’re a lot of fun,” noted Pornokitsch.
Two complete novels. One reckless PI. Classic pulp crime, restored.
