All's Fair (1937)
“All’s Fair . . .” is more than a stirring love story. Its setting is a turbulent mining county where money and corrupt politicians rule with guns. Into this mare’s nest comes a young labor leader, grimly determined to solve the murder of a fellow organizer and to break the feudal reign of Ware County bosses.
Disguised as a mine owner’s son, young Mac is invited into the home of the Alastairs, Ware County’s ruling family, and nearly forgets his mission when Sue Alastair’s blue eyes speak in an age-old language. But the miners strike, Sue disappears, and Mac fights daringly. From the opening of the book to its surprising climax Richard Wormser carries his readers at a breathless pace.

Carnival Queen: A Novel of the Tent Shows (1937) (ed. Jerry eBooks 2016)
It's the greatest story in the World, la-dees and gen-tulmen - this mystery novel of the show business!

Pan Satyrus (1963)
Fantastic, topical, satirical, engaging… Chimpanzee Mems launched by the American Space Center from Cape Canaveral into orbit around the Earth does not execute the flight program… Even more - the spacecraft somehow exceeds the speed of light, but when it lands on Earth, Mems starts talking in human language because, as he claims, he has deevolutionized…
The book is intended as a cartoon of the era. Military with their secrecy, the power of the dollar, racism and bureaucracy. Pan Satirus is the central driving force behind the book, he is suddenly on a par with the lower creatures, and he begins to be overwhelmed by human concerns, which are absolutely nonsense from a chimpanzee's point of view.

Perfect Pigeon (1962)
Easy come, easy go…
That’s the life of the third-rate con men who fake their way in and fleece their way out of swank hotels from city to city—one step ahead of the law, two steps ahead of each other.
But Mark Daniels was no third-rater. At twenty-three he embezzled his way to a cool quarter million. Sure, he got caught—that was part of his plan. But the money was safe. And when Daniels finished his stretch in stir he was young, rich and completely free from the long arm of the law. All he had to do was just sit tight until he could safely grab his dough.
Just sit tight. No problem at all for a smart guy like Daniels—until the sky fell down around him and into his lap dropped the loveliest girl in the world, with the slickest murder frame he’d ever seen...

Ride a Northbound Horse (1964) Western [PDF]
The man was a horse thief. He had been turned out on foot, with neither water nor boots, in country where no man walked.
Watching him, thirteen-year-old Cav swayed in the saddle. He hadn't exactly stolen the gray he was riding, but there was no other name to put on what he'd done. Riding to catch up with the northbound Kane and
Cavanagh herd, he'd been tricked into giving up his beautiful sure-footed mare Belle, and had taken Gray in her place.
Cav kept his secret after he joined K-C as a cooky. Then came the terrible dry drive.
Sent alone into the desert to drop off water barrels for the riders, with only the steadfast oxen Bo and Billy and a skittish horse for company, Cav learned what it was to be a real cowboy and finally confided in the boss.

The Body Looks Familiar (1958)
This was no crime of passion. The killer sat patiently on the girl's satin-covered bed, drinking Scotch and soda, awaiting her return. He didn't smoke--some Sherlock might trace his brand. He had already taken care to plant the leads, to weave together the web of evidence that would direct the police unerringly to the wrong man. He didn't know the girl. When she entered, he thought it a pity to kill such a good-looker; then he held the cushion over the gun, and fired. The silk and feathers made an excellent muffler. It was too bad about the girl, but she was just a means to an end--and the end was to send another man to the chair...

The Invader (1972)
Dominick figured a hick cop like Ken wouldn't catch on to a sophisticated big-time operation like the one he was setting up. But he reckoned without Ken's dedication to his job...

The Kidnapped Circus (1968) [PDF]
Captivated by the circus, twelve-year-old Ed joins the troupe in New Mexico. In his new life he encounters counterfeiters and is kidnapped, along with the circus, to entertain a looney hacienda owner.

The Takeover (1972)
You don’t cross the Mafia and live very long. Unless…
A city is a big place, full of power and money for those with the reigns in their hands. Run a city the right way, steal it while you can, and nobody will notice that it’s gone.
Jerry was the city marshal, with a good seat at City Hall and a burning ambition to get a richer slice out of life.
He had two problems.
One… the vacant Attorney General slot was about to be filled by Monroe Petersen. People like Jerry prospered from the city by allowing a certain amount of illegalities to flourish. Petersen was a reformer and that wasn’t good for politics. Someone was going to have to make that slot vacant again.
Two… the Mafia has reared its ugly head and nothing would quell its lust for a takeover - it was their line of work.
Murder was a tricky game to play, but in this business Jerry had to be one step ahead before he became one shot behind.

[/b]Thief of Baghdad (1961)
And it was declared throughout the kingdom that whosoever passed through the trials of The Seven Gates and returned triumphant with a lone, blue rose would be hailed Sultan of all Baghdad and would receive in marriage the hand of fair Princess Amina.
Unthinkable that a thief, the lowliest of men, should offer his sword and his life on this perilous crusade. A crusade blocked at every turn by dangers of raging flames, invisible beasts and hooded, faceless men.
Unthinkable that even the bravest would survive to tell the thrilling tale—and yet, one man did!

Torn Curtain (1966)
Based on the screenplay by Brian Moore
A RAZOR-EDGED SPY THRILLER
— that puts a senator's daughter in the arms of a traitor ... an eccentric countess in control of an extraordinary escape ... a left-wing ballerina on stage for the secret police ... and a top U.S. physicist in a violent cross-fire of deadly equations...

The Wild Wild West (1966)
TV tie-in paperback
Published during the show's run in the 1960s, it was adapted from the TV episode The Night of the Double-Edged Knife
Major James West dines on escargots in garlic butter, finishes up with demitasse and cognac, plays a hand of poker with his English butler (who cheats). His home is a luxuriously appointed railroad car; his job is to ferret out trouble along the borders and frontiers of the untamed West.
Here West and his sidekick (a man of instant disguises) infiltrate the ranks of restless redskins as they hunt down a railroad saboteur. Along the way they pick up a cussing Irish beauty, a Dartmouth-educated Indian chief, a one-armed general, some wily Wall Street magnates, and finally, of course, the villain.
THE WILD WILD WEST is a wildly entertaining western-suspense-spy-thriller…with a hearty dash of spoof.
