THE CRIMSHAW MEMORANDUM

Harry Crimshaw, who seems to have fallen from his boat, is presumed drowned. Lt. Richard Martingale is assigned to help an insurance investigator confirm the missing man. It seems simple enough, except that Martingale senses something wrong about the situation. Crimshaw's wife, Marguerite, is set in receive [...] from his insurance policy, but seems curiously unconcerned about her husband. Crimshaw's boss is outright hostile, more concerned for Marguerite than the missing Harry. Martingale's casual assistance turns serious when the insurance man is severely beaten. Then it becomes personal when he himself is also attacked. But who could be behind these attacks... and why?

HIJACK

It's a hell of a plan. The four of them will kidnap the Boeing 707 that transports the old bills from L.A. to Denver for shredding. The easy part is taking over the plane. Scar, Handle, Sis and Dude-are enough to manage the small number of passengers, with Red waiting for them at the landing. Dude, the Captain, flew in Vietnam, and has no problem piloting the plane to their desert rendezvous. The problem is the passengers. One of them is an alcoholic with an attaché case full of booze. One is a defecting scientist, another his CIA keeper. One of them has just robbed the bank where he is a teller. And one is a jet-setter with a bottle full of pills. What could possibly go wrong?
