   • SOFT TOUCH. Pure noir. Man married to a bimbo and employed by her father throws in with an old Army pal to pull off a caper that will make them rich. Many reviewers have complained that JDM’s romantic dialogue is sometimes so corny as to be painful.
   • DEADLY WELCOME. While not as ambitious as some of his other books, Deadly Welcomeis a violent and melancholy trip back in time. A State Department employee named Alex Doyle is ordered to go to a small town and convince a troubled scientist who can’t get over his wife’s murder to return to DC and his work on a secret project.
   • MURDER IN THE WIND. You could consider this JDM’s homage to The Bridge of San Luis Reyand/or Key Largo. Five disparate groups of people take shelter in an old house to wait out a hurricane.
