Big Clean Stories Of Outdoor Life
Considered by many pulp historians to be the first pulp with a playing card cover.
Contents include Over the Northern Border, The Gallopin’ Kid’s Silk Shirt, Why Auld of the Mounted “Reasoned Why”, The Golden Bowl [Part 1 of 6], and Peg Leg Assists a Conclusion. I have no idea which one relates to this cover.
Frozen Blood
Warrior Queen of Atilla’s Lost Legion
Death Lives In Our House
Brains And Bullets
Blood And Moonlight
Jealous Woman (1959)
The Faster We Live
She gave herself to the right man — at the wrong time
From the back:
There was $200,000 in the bank and they wanted it —these four amateur bandits who were out to use the crowds at the Indianapolis Speedway as their cover –before and after the robbery.
MYLES THORBECK wanted his share of the loot for easy living. His brother, HOWIE, wanted to buy the respect of his nymphomaniac wife, FAYE. FLOYD WARREN needed to be a big shot.
And RYAN KENDALL was just along for the ride — until his intimate emotional involvement with beautiful and eager VICKI TAYLOR precipitated a conflict of interests between them all that threatened to blow sky-high an otherwise perfect crime.
The Unfaithful
Blood-Priestess Of Vig N’Ga
Hell’s Scarlet Flower
Turn On The Heat (Hard Case Crime)
This novel has been published several times before. This particular cover features a cover painting by Laurel Blechman, working from reference photos shot by the legendary pulp illustrator Robert Maguire

Forever And A Death
… A Fortune in Stolen Gold …A Device That Will Kill Millions …And Just One Man Can Stop It!
This novel began life as a draft screenplay for a James Bond movie, but it was eventually rejected. Westlake went ahead and wrote it up anyway, but it wasn’t published until 2017, a decade after his death.
