COFFIN FOR A HOOD
The two hired killers arrive by plane to the little coastal town of Arroyos in the Florida Keys. But why? Could they be here to settle an old debt with Socks Schroeder, the basketball jock who didn't throw the game and turned state's evidence instead? Or did Helen's ex hire them to kill her new husband, Nick? Or possibly they were here for Doc Martins, to settle an old score? Or for Deputy Flack, who used to run with the mob before he'd killed a rival and was forced to hide out. Richard Fullbright is sure they're after him, hired by his ex-partners after they found out he'd swindled them. All they know is that two professionals are in town, and they must be here for a reason. While just offshore, Hurricane Bettina is ready to strike...
OPERATION--MURDER
Tina marries Frank so quickly, she really doesn't know much about him. She meets him in the hospital where she is a nurse, and he a patient. But now she is on a bus headed toward Twin Valley to join him so that they can finally celebrate their honeymoon in a lodge up in the Rockies. When she gets there, there's no Frank. Joe the Indian is there to meet her instead. And when she gets to the lodge, nothing seems right. Tina discovers she will be sharing the lodge not only with Joe, but with two other men she doesn't know. Because Frank has a plan, and a belated honeymoon is only a small part of it. He intends to rob the Denver mint train. And nothing Tina can do is going to stop him.
Review Quotes
"Whether he's writing about a town full of people who worry that some recently arrived gunmen could be out for their blood (Coffin), or about a young bride who gets mixed up in a train robbery (Operation), White wrings plenty of drama, suspense, and nastiness out of the situation. He's a too-little-known writer who well deserves a renaissance."-- David Pitt, Booklist
"The master of the big caper."--New York Times
"...his plots are sharp and relentless."--Ben Boulden
