The quest to be a cheapskate completist draws ever nearer its end...

Spoiler:

Five murdered nude lovelies are all found in rooms painted red, with Ravel’s Bolero playing endlessly on a turntable. The Evil Evelyn, a showbiz phenomenon, is dead center of a bizarre serial killer hunt that has Captain Mike Monks completely baffled, so he enlists Noon’s aide, and Ed is knee-deep in trouble again. This story marks the first appearance of Ed Noon’s new secretary, beautiful African American Melissa Mercer, who remains with Noon for the rest of the series.

(16) The February Doll Murders

Spoiler:

An international ring of dedicated conspirators has conceived an ingenious plot to sabotage the U.N. The case begins when an old Army buddy of Noon’s contacts him and asks questions about the dollar bill that Noon had his entire mechanized cavalry squad sign in Europe during WWII. But when Kyle Crosby is murdered atop the RCA Building and Noon himself is shot down, another uniquely different case has been launched in the Noon canon. This case also makes Melissa Mercer an active participant in Noon’s affairs for the very first time.

(24) London Bloody London

“The fate of all cogs everywhere: when the buttons are pushed, you move. Especially if you’re a well-trained cog with a .45, a license, and the personal endorsement of a President to use your virtues." Ed Noon, Private Eye

Ed Noon is trapped abroad by a broad who likes to swing and slay. Once again the President sends his Special Agent Noon off on a hazardous mission. This time he’s hunting an aging master scientist and a wizard child prodigy through the back streets of London.
