STOP THIS MAN!When Catell gets out of prison, Schumacher has a job lined up for him—a bar of gold in a lab, ripe for stealing. What neither of them know is that this bar of gold has accidentally been rendered radioactive. So as Catell makes his way around Detroit, he gradually begins to poison everyone he comes in contact with. And now the FBI is on to him, and Schumacher is dead. With no one to buy the gold, Catell follows a lead to California, to a man named Smith... and a woman named Lily. But right behind him is Selma, the crazy alcoholic who won’t let him go. Selma is going to follow Catell to Hell before she lets him get away.TOBRUKThe time, September 1942. The place, northern Africa. The mission, to cross 800 miles of desert and blow up the German fuel supply at Tobruk. The instigators, a motley crew of British soldiers under the command of by-the-books Colonel Harker and a handful of German Jews set on revenge—disguised as German POWs, they are led by the reluctant Major Craig and the hard-headed Captain Bergman on a mission none of them have a lot of faith in. The distraction, Cheryl, the nymphomaniac daughter of a British spy on a secret mission to Cairo. The bigger problem, a traitor in their midst. The outcome… one chance in a million.
