Men Were All She Lived For

From the back:

Clement studied Margaret’s uncovered knees through half-closed eyes. Watch it, he told himself. Don’t get any ideas. Remember, she’s Lady Norton now. Not the plain Margaret Dobay you used to know. With a sudden movement she stood up. The negligee parted dramatically down the middle and he stared breathlessly. “Embarrassed?” she asked in a very low voice. Careful! his mind warned him. Not that. Not with the wife of all-powerful Lord Norton! Then the former Margaret Dobay closed her eyes. Her lips parted slightly and she seemed to sway toward him. It was an engraved invitation.

The Last Quarry

21451356-23-LastQuarry

The ruthless professional killer known as Quarry long ago disappeared into a well-earned retirement. But now a media magnate has lured the restless hitman into tackling one last lucrative assignment. The target is an unlikely one: Why, Quarry wonders, would anyone want a beautiful young librarian dead? And why in hell does he care?

As seen in the film ‘Shades of Noir’, apparently.
