iss and Kill
(1969)The nice-guy blues
The nice mild man named Edward Tollman had a problem. His lovely wife was missing, and he
wanted her back -- fast. So he went to a fellow whose specialty was solving problems like
that -- a very private detective called Barney Burgess. Burgess' methods were not pleasant
-- but they got results. Burgess was used to sordid scenes and secrets. But after four
quick corpses, a wild ride to Mexico, and a blonde sex bomb who threatened to blow the
case wide open at the first wrong move, Barney began to wonder how such a nice guy got him
into something this nasty....

Although there exists a Richard Deming title from 1960
named ... Kiss and Kill. (Even
the cover text "Here was a deadly version of the worlds
oldest profession" agreed) Deming
himself said in an interview to have written 10 books under the
Queen-monicker... all are already accounted for.
