THE BABY DOLL MURDERS

Cliff Tierney was trained by Markham to be the best, a carny's carny. Then Holly entered his life and messed things up--and Markham had Tierney stomped. But that was months ago. Now Tierney is back, and Markham wants him to handle a blackmailer for him. Ann should be easy. She's in love with Cliff. But then Markham brings Holly back into the picture, and the set-up becomes complicated. Because Holly's father is the eminent Dr. Thad Ross, who not only controls the town but is involved in Ann's blackmail scheme. And Holly, well she's just as dangerous as her father, and more than a match for Tierney's carny skills.

KILLER TAKE ALL!

Tony Pearson knows he is no match for Steve Locke, Fern's new husband. Locke has the charm, the drive and the physical prowess he doesn't. He also has Fern. But as a failed golf pro, Tony doesn't have that many options either, and takes Locke up on his offer to work for Tony's boss, Max Baird. Max is a reformed gangster trying to fit in. He even bought a Rembrandt to show off his class. But now he needs the bucks more than the art, and Locke calls in an expert to appraise the painting. That's when they discover that the painting Max owns is a forgery. And who gets framed as the fall guy? Why, Tony, of course.
