SOUTH SEAS NOIR: FOUR FULL NOVELS brings together four hard-edged classics set across the Pacific and Asia, where desire, ambition, and violence collide in places far from home and beyond the reach of easy justice.
The story of the Golden Trollop: golden-haired, gold-dusted, and the most talked-about woman in London. Crowds roar for her, rivals seethe, and every powerful man wants her. Yet beneath the gold stands a woman determined to shape her own future… and choose her own desire.
John Sidney Grahame is a quiet woodsman with a hunter’s instincts, a painter’s eye, and a dangerous sense of justice. One violent night pulls him out of the shadows and into the secrets that Taretown tries to keep buried.
His name is Bart Gould. The President’s private spy. And he’s plunging into Caribbean waters raging with desire, treachery, and death.
Ronald Summerville retreats to rural Mississippi to forget a war that broke him and a woman who betrayed him. Instead, he meets Ferris Macklin—young, stunning, and starved for affection in a house where tenderness is forbidden. Her innocence is mixed with a disarming boldness, her curiosity with a hunger she barely understands. From the moment Ronald sees her, desire becomes impossible to ignore.
"I, Mobster" rips open the dark heart of the American Dream—where loyalty is a racket, love is a setup, and the only way out is in a coffin.
