All things considered, it had the makings of a fine day. A "Cat of Many Colors" Tale

While house sitting Joseph's Cat of Many Colors, an overdose of Ernest Bramah stories lands Cristina Preston, a girl of boundless imagination, in a world of hard boiled detection.

People say it's bad luck for a black cat to cross your path. But suppose it's a Cat of Many Colors? What then? Mr Fax had been swindling collectors for a long time. Tonight would be his final rip-off, after which he'd go someplace where no one could find him. With a little help from the cat, that's exactly what he did.

Death is a grim reality in the Philippine countryside. For Buck Stardust, it's even worse when he tries to bury the body.

At last it can be told: the full story of Buck Stardust's undercover mission to foil a terrorist plot.

The evil Doctor Goldjob subjects Buck Stardust to the most hideous torture ever conceived. Can the tenacious Texan survive?

Strange doings at the Preston residence. Christina man's up while the rest of the family gets down.
