McCloud #4: The Corpse Maker (1974)

McCloud #4: The Corpse Maker paperback from 1974 in fine condition Each murder was the same – strangulation with a silk scarf. Each victim was the same – a beautiful young woman, employed by an expensive rent-a-girl setup. McCloud smelled a phoney from the start. The similarities were too carefully arranged. This was a hell of a lot more than a psycho-killer with a twisted hunger for beautiful corpses. But halfway to the truth Marshal McCloud was suddenly taken off the case. He was coming too close to someone with too much to lose. Someone powerful enough to get a tough New York City cop kicked off the detective beat. But that someone wasn’t counting on McCloud’s never-quit stubborn streak. He continued to hunt the killer on his own – pulling the noose tighter around the most expensive sex-and-blackmail scheme the city had ever seen!
