A Knife for My Love and Further Mayhem / Silent Treatment and Other Stories (Wildside Mystery Double #14)

In the tradition of the old Ace Doubles (flip the volume over to read the second book), here's the fourteenth Wildside Mystery Double: A KNIFE FOR MY LOVE AND FURTHER MAYHEM, by Lionel Webb. Steve Page has a problem: his beautiful wife Archie wants a better life than he can offer her. Steve's boss, Lou, the next rung up the earnings ladder, wants to marry her. But Steve loves his wife, if he can find a way to keep her. The obvious solution: A KNIFE FOR MY LOVE. Here are ten gripping tales wrenched from the 1950s and '60s pulp magazines--hardboiled stories of the bad men and bad girls haunting the urban byways! SILENT TREATMENT AND OTHER STORIES, by Lionel Webb. Tom and Ed are looking to get laid, but have no luck until they meet Harry. Harry says that if they play along with him, they can pick up--and abuse--a pretty girl, and she won't be able to do anything about it legally. They agree, and find Marsha waiting at a bus stop. They take her to a secluded park, and let her blab on while giving her the SILENT TREATMENT. Then she'll do anything to get away. Seven thrilling stories torn from the pages of the pulps!
