*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: Four very different thrillers linked by great cover art this week. Girl Running is a private eye murder thriller of Americans in Paris. The Only Girl In The Game is a story of gangsters, entertainers and showgirls set in Las Vegas. The Crimson In The Purple is a taut psychological thriller of fear and deadly interplay. Opium Venture is a blend of the erotic and adventurous, on the trail of a queen of opium trafficking.
