A SIMPLE HOLLYWOOD BLACKMAIL SCHEME TURNS DEADLY

 

Morocco Jones figured this assignment would be a breeze. After all, sending a guy who

specialized in busting up crime syndicates and international spy rings to LosAngeles to track down some two-bit blackmailer seemed like using a cannon tokill a mosquito. To Morocco, it seemed like a good excuse for a nice littleHollywood vacation ... catch a bit of sun, bed a few starlets, and relax poolsidewith a large snifter of brandy.

 

But Morocco

couldn't have been more wrong! Because this was no two-bit blackmail scheme.The half-a-billion-dollar payoff ... for whoever was behind the plot ... was moneyworth killing for. From the moment Morocco Jones hit fabulous movieland, thingsbegan to explode in some very strange and terrifying directions.

 

First, there was

the reception committee of musclemen who waylaid Morocco in the dark rightoutside his client's fancy Spanish villa. Next was the ex-hood who had becomehigh priest of a powerful and sinister religious cult that didn't draw the lineeven at murder when it came to keeping its secrets secret. Then, there was thescandal sheet that raked in the do-re-mi from the studios ... for the trulyscandalous stories it didn't print about Screenland's kings and queens. Add ina crooked cop named Doheny who didn't like Morocco's lip, and the unsolveddouble murder of a famous screen beauty and her husband that tied into it allsomehow. Nor could Morocco overlook the incendiary blonde starlet in the oh-sorevealing dress who seemed to have slept with half his suspects and was alwaysone step ahead of him, wherever he went.

 

There were a lot of

angles to figure, even for an operative like Morocco Jones. His only hope ofsolving it was a lush out cold from a 10-day bender and a raw cub reporter wholooked more destined to end up being written about in the obits than gettinghis by-line on the story of the year ... when and if it broke. This was a case withthe distinct odor of an organized blackmail ring with syndicate tie-ups.
