Lovers Are Losers

Armchair Fiction presents large, deluxe editions of classic mystery-crime novels. Our author is former Watergate mastermind and suspected JFK assassination conspirator E. Howard Hunt, who’s at his best in one of the dozens of mystery and intrigue novels he was also famous for, “Lovers are Losers.” It’s a nail-biting tale about a world-class money scheme. Christopher Powell was almost forty and just wanted to have a nice vacation before his next assignment. He checked into a nice L.A. hotel and was ready to relax and unwind when his friend Dick Barden fell into a swimming pool, totally wasted. After Dick came out of his drunken stupor, he told Chris about a web of secrets his family had gotten tangled up in. To make matters more complicated there were three women involved, one of which was a sensual, young, beautiful girl—who had a penchant for men, especially older ones like Chris!

So Christopher Powell knew his nice, relaxing vacation was going to be anything but; and before long he was gallivanting around Los Angeles and Mexico trying to solve a mystery before someone got killed. However, when things went from bad to worse, Chris knew he was going to need his best friend—a .38 special.
