Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. The first novel is “Naked Fury” by heralded mystery writer Day Keene. It’s a tale of power hungry men and dangerous women. Big Dan Malloy was the political boss of Phelpsburg. Starting out from humble beginnings, Malloy had risen all the way to the very top. But he never realized the destructive power of the machine he had created until it crushed and murdered a common working man named Kozak, a poor tailor—one of the little people who had helped put Big Dan where he was. But when Malloy started to investigate the reasons behind the murder, all hell broke loose. Not all his wealth and power, not even the devotion of the beautiful Katie Bishop, the woman he should have married but never had, could help him in the bitter struggle he waged single-handedly against the dark forces of crime and corruption that he had unwittingly turned loose on his beloved city. The second novel is a murder mystery set in the steamy jungles of Cuba, “Murder in Baracoa” by Paul E. Walsh. He received a telegram of Death. Michael Chapman was shocked and deeply grieved by the telegram he received—his best friend George was dead. The telegram was signed by Marcia, George’s beautiful widow. Michael grabbed the first plane to the remote jungle town of Baracoa, Cuba, to discover that…George had been murdered—poisoned. Marcia was a suspect in his death. Her main accuser was a woman, the “other woman,” and her name was Catalina. Catalina was George’s secret mistress and she was a native beauty who had inflamed the islanders into a Voodoo black magic blood-frenzy. “Murder in Baracoa” is a throbbing tale of mystery and passion, set in the brooding shadow of the ancient mount “El Yunque” that explodes in a climax of suspense, terror, and sudden death!
