  9. The Black Key is an obscure 1946 psychiatric murder mystery. A psychiatrist has a patient who thinks she's committed a murder. It's totally off-the-wall with crazy and ludicrously contrived dream clues. It doesn’t make sense but it's enjoyable.

  14. The Ambushers, published in 1963, Donald Hamilton’s sixth Matt Helm spy thriller. Helm has to assassinate a rebel leader and rescue an American agent. Lots of double-crosses and moral murkiness and some scores to settle. Superb spy fiction.

  19. John Flagg’s 1953 Woman of Cairo has everything you could want in a spy novel - a fascinating historical background, an exotic setting, a clever plot, an atmosphere of corruption and paranoia. A British bomber is stolen in the Middle East.

  24. In Edgar Wallace's The Door with Seven Locks a retired cop has to deal with a burglar hired to pick the lock on a tomb, a stolen library book and keeping tabs on an errant lord. Hints of gothic creepiness. Hugely entertaining.

  29. Philip Atlee's The Irish Beauty Contract is a routine 1966 Joe Gall spy novel. Embittered ex-CIA man Joe Gall is now a US Government hitman. This time he has to watch someone but not kill him. The background is good but the book lacks energy.

  34. The Saint and Mr Teal AKA Once More The Saint is a 1933 collection of three Saint novellas by Leslie Charteris. With some lovely twisty devious sting-in-the-tail endings. This is the second version of Simon Templar, without his gang but with Patricia. Stylish fun.

  39. Honey West, the original tough cookie action heroine. Dig a Dead Doll, from 1960, was the seventh Honey West novel. This time there's murder in the bullring in Mexico. As usual Honey loses her clothes. Hardboiled, violent, sleazy, stylish, fun.

  49. Killer AKA Passion Killer, a 1965 sleaze/noir novel by Robert Silverberg (as Don Elliott). A man hires a hitman to kill his wife. Emotional and sexual betrayals follow. As sleaze it's good; as noir fiction it's OK. Has a good femme fatale.
