Take a Murder, Darling [MultiFormat]

Of course my line of work has its perks--and it should when I lay my life on the line for dangerously daring women even if they are among the most luscious ladies I've ever met. It's not easy guarding these beautiful bodies .. of course it takes a lot more than being a bodyguard these days, especially when there's so much body to be guarded. And she has plenty of body to keep me busy--uh, working--for quite a while ... even if she's stacked for murder! 1958

There's only room enough for one and Drum was working on my turf. 1959

Slab Happy [MultiFormat]

I wasn't too happy to be looking down the barrel of every gunman in California, and when I heard them humming murder music on their lips, the melody was sour and I knew it was being dedicated to only one man--me. That gangdom had it all planned out. They'd even measured me for a grave I was supposed to share with a fiery redhead, Coral. There isn't much I wouldn't share with a spicy beauty, but this time I was willing to pass that up to save my life. 1958

It is up to Scott to go on location where the film is being shot and determine whether or not her death was an accident. He must also keep himself out of danger, what with the girls--and with the men who are trying to take his life... more info>> 1964

That's right, but I thought my role was to rescue any poor damsel in distress. Too bad that maiden wasn't planning to rescue me from the next social event planned in town--my funeral--and it was up to me to crash the party while keeping cool bel... more info>> 1962

With a national election going on, my timing might have been less than perfect. Perhaps I did prevent the victory for the shoo-in candidate, but a lot of strange things were happening. There was Polly Plank whom I encountered in her psychiatrist's office in her birthday suit. The American singing idol Johnny Troy who turned up dead. And of course Joe Rice, leader of the West's underworld who also wanted me under--six feet under! 1964

Dead Man's Walk [MultiFormat]

The island couldn't be more charming with its stretches of white beaches, crystalline lagoons, and exotic bikini-clad beauties. But with three dead bodies and a voodoo priest, I had a hard time concentrating on sightseeing. It seemed superstitious to me, since nobody could solve the puzzling cause of their deaths. So with the assistance of my own lovely native doll, I had my work cut out for me--and that was simply managing to evade the long voodoo needle that was destined for my heart! 1965

This case couldn't have been more up Shell Scott's alley. Twelve naked, luscious beauties, one for each month of the year, were Scott's next assignment.

That was the only clue Scott had to help him solve this murder. But not to worry, it's the perfect mixture of business and pleasure for Shell Scott, P.I. 1960
