Reporter Laura Ames and magazine photographer Pete Farrell fly out to rich novelist John Hope Hamilton's private, tropical island to interview him. But as soon as they arrive, they discover that the novelist's secretary Mary Belle has died under mysterious circumstances and that Cuba, his voluptuous new secretary, is doing a lot more for him than taking dictation. The real story here could be murder... and the killing might not be over. "There are a lot of sexual hijinks of the 1950s Playboy variety, including a couple of pretty funny sex scenes. Duncan's touch is light, and his style is smooth. This one's fun to read." Bill Crider "Self-deprecating and making humorous hay out of his sexual frustration, Pete is a fun narrator and it’s his voice that makes The Telltale Tart a comic romp." Strange Type

Greenhill Tennessee Police chief Buck Peters, an upstanding citizen and the deacon of his local church, investigates the murder Rita, a wealthy widow known as the "town tramp." The prime suspect is Kip Belton, the police commissioner, whose alibi is that he was with his wife, Lacey, at the time of the killing. There's just one problem with that story. Buck knows it's a lie...because he was having sex with Lacey, his first love, when the murder happened. And that's only the beginning of Buck's problems. Rita kept a diary that could rip the town apart... "A racy, fast-moving murder mystery packed in his usual, very clever style. The book is packed with humorous situations written in Peter's own delightful manipulation of the English language." The Courier-Journal "A hilarious detective story about crime in a small town, a skillful blend of sex and satire. " Hartford Courant "A rare pearl... optimistic Jim Thompson," Jean-Patrick Manchette
