DARK DREAM
Agency detective Jim Bennett is sent to Wheatville at the request of lawyer Sam Algood. Someone is taking potshots at Allgood on the golf course and he'd like to know who it is. While Bennett is investigating the golfing situation, he is also hired by Pete Donati, owner of Armand's Beauty Salon. Someone is sabotaging his curling process and burning his customer's heads. Between the two cases-and in spite of Allgood's flirtatious wife--Bennett figures to have an easy week of it, wrapping things up in no time. Then he meets the beautiful but scarred Marianne, Donati's wife and the real power behind Armand's. A man might very well murder for her. And in no time at all, someone does.
SLEEP, MY LOVE
Detective Jim Bennett is saddened to hear about his best friends' divorce. He'd grown up with Dan and Kay. On the rebound, Dan marries a goldigger named Louette. It's not a happy marriage. In fact, Dan confesses that he came home early and caught her with another man, and roughed him up. But when he and Dan go back to his apartment, they find Louette with a knife in her chest. And Dan becomes the only suspect. Then Bennett finds himself entangled in another crime when he receives a desperate plea for help from Dan's womanizing boss, Roger Quinn, whose lover is murdered in their hotel room. Both men claim innocence. But the odds are against at least one of them.
