DEATH IN A LIGHTHOUSE:

Reporter Peter Willard wakes up with a head wound and three years missing from his memories. Gradually he comes to realize that he has been suffering from amnesia, and has been living the life of a criminal known as the Deuce. But now that memory has returned, he finds out that he has been working for a gangster named Spinelli and a shadowy character known as the Cowl-and that both the cops and his former gang members are both after him. It may be too late to make amends for his life of crime, but Peter makes it his mission to discover just who this mysterious Cowl is who has ruined his life-and kill him!

MURDER MONEY:

When Leo Storm finds a briefcase full of money stuck in a tree, he has no idea that he's just stumbled upon a wicked plot involving jewels, gangsters, and a fiercely independent young lady. But first, the briefcase is stolen from him by a man with a gun. Then that same briefcase turns up again at the scene of a murder. As does the young lady, Valerie Feather. Someone has put a knife in a local mystic, and it looks like Valerie is involved. Ruthless gambler Wheels Burton has got his hand in there somewhere, too. In fact, it looks like there is more than one briefcase full of money. Storm chases after all of them but the closer he gets, the more bodies turn up!
