Blood on the Mink's narrator is an undercover operative, Nick, called in to impersonate a mobster named Vic Lowney. Vic gets snatched by the Feds at the Chicago airport en route from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. Nick takes his place. His mission? Find the engraving plates for some high-quality counterfeit bills that have shown up in the City of Brotherly Love. Vic was going there to buy them for a LA gang.

Beautiful dames and double crosses follow as Nick sets three gangs against each other. Nick is a hard-bitten man. He doesn’t express much fear or concern over the collateral damage which includes the dead woman on the cover.

The rules for making the deliver are pretty cut: show up at a given rooming house and be there on a specified schedule to wait – alone-- for pick up. But a hot blonde shows up at the rooming house, the “Dangerous Doll” of the title. Poor Eddie. He’s not very bright, and he has no idea what she’s got planned for him. It’s my favorite story here.
Mike Keller isn’t a cop or a criminal, just a traveling salesman making his rounds through Central Wisconsin. But he finds himself, after being a good Samaritan and checking up on the cries of a woman in a nearby hotel room, caught up in “One Night of Violence”. That woman has been kidnapped by some Chicago mobsters to have their revenge on some competitors, and Keller is coerced into participating.… (more)
