Murder With Love

Could this beautiful, passionate girl be the ruthless killer he was looking for?

Murder With Love is the first adventure for PI John Church and, according to Mystery File, ＂it’s one of those cases that gets him so personally involved that you wonder when it’s over whether there will ever be another one.＂ There was one more, Murder on her Mind, but that was the end for this long-lost, hard-boiled crime series, finally back-in-print after 60 years.

Church is in Las Vegas, hot on the trail of Mira Whitney, a woman who seduces men, cleans them out of all their valuables, and flees. But now she’s raising her game to blackmail...and maybe even murder. There are two sides to Mira, though, that he could fall for, either into her bed or into a grave, or maybe both.
