Always Leave 'em Dying — Richard S. Prather

Shell Scott. He's a guy with a pistol in his pocket and sex and violence on his mind. The crime world's public enemy number one, this Casanova is a sucker for a damsel in distress. When a pair of lovely legs saunters into his office, he can't help but take the job, even when the case is a killer. Shell thinks he has seen it all - until he sees the cult. It sacrifices the best for the worst, and when he discovers who-s leading it, it almost killed him. Uniformed in black right down to the gun aimed at Shell, the leader resembles an embalmed undertaker. But it isn-t just those gorgeous young girls he seeks to sacrifice. He wants Shell. Not dead or alive - just dead.
