Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. The first novel is "Everybody's Watching Me" by well-known murder, mystery, and suspense writer Mickey Spillane. In a city full of gangsters and crooked cops, Joe Boyle just wanted to live as much of a normal life as possible. But one day his life was turned upside down when he was paid to deliver a message to a well-known thug--a thug with a reputation for dope smuggling and murder! Before long Joe found himself battered and bruised and caught up in the middle of a drug war between different mobsters, all of whom were searching for an elusive, unknown arch nemesis known simply as "the invisible man." Only a passionate dame, an aging old man, and a no-nonsense cop stood between Joe Boyle and the mark on his life. One thing was certain, the mob believed Joe had info they needed--and they would stop at nothing to get it from him. So Joe Boyle had to play the dangerous game of always having to be one quick step ahead of the mob. The second novel is a true classic of nail-biting suspense, by another well-known mystery writer, John D, MacDonald.
