 1952 by Fawcett THE HEAT HIT THEM ALL . . . the scorching heat of Mexico, and it ate at their nerves. The stalled ferry held them in the heat until they could stand no more. The honeymooners fought, and loved and fought again. The pretty little tramp clawed her married lover's eyes. The trembling killer looked behind and knew his time was short. There were others waiting, too, some good, some bad, but all of them tormented by the shape of disaster to come. Time gave them all a second chance. Most of them stepped on the face of time.  1953 Fawcett Set in Florida. It is the story of McClintock, a bitter man who has taken refuge on the keys and shut away the world that had scarred him. But the world came after him—in the shape of a manic killer who threatene McClintock's house of cards and taught him how to love again.  Dell : 1959 Ramona Beach, Florida, was a dangerous place to mix business with pleasure. Strangers usually meant trouble, and the local sheriff echoed the town's sentiments with a blackjack. Once Ramona Beach had been my home, as a kid--but now they'd railroaded me out of town. "Can't trust trash," they said. I'd never been back. But that was then and this was now. Now I'd been sent home by my employer, the Defense Department, to locate a particular scientist and bring him back alive. But Ramona Beach had a long memory, and so did I . . .  Dell: 1957 In life, Jane Ann never had much use for a halo, but in her violent death she finally earned one. When they found a suspect, everyone relaxed, except me. Maybe I should have stayed out of it, but I owed a big debt to the patsy they were sending to the electric chair in a week. And I would have stayed out of it if I'd known what my own chances were of coming out alive.  Dell: 1958 A Stunning Novel of Modern Morals Her name was Cindy, and she was his neighbor's wife - the woman next door in the kind of suburbia that didn't make headlines. No cheap scandals here - no wife-swapping, no key games. These were real people, nice people like Cindy and Cark who fought with the desperation of the damned to keep from wanting each other. Had a perfect opportunity not presented itself, perhaps nothing would have happened. But suddenly it was the right time, the right place. And there was no room left for pretense. In that moment, all innocence drained out of their lives. Two real people, two nice people, became creatures of passion - and guilt.  Fawcett: 1963 Lucille Hanson had rid herself of the wrong man - her rich husband who lived casually and loved carelessly. Then she found another man she hoped would be right. She was putting together the pieces of her life - determined not to make the old mistakes, the foolish ones which had almost wrecked her the first time around - until all of her hopes came to rest at the bottom of a lake where her body was found. It must have been an accident, was what others wanted to think. But among her mourners just one person refused to believe it was anything but murder.
