Paul Sherman of Interpol's Narcotics Bureau lands at Schiphol Airport. As far as he is aware no one but Jimmy Duclos knows of his arrival in Amsterdam. Duclos is there to meet him--and four men are there to meet Duclos. Sherman has to recognize that the gang of herion smugglers he was out to smash know his movements as well as he does.  Backed by Amsterdam's police, Sherman tries to outwit the genius behind the drug ring, a master puppeteer who knows how to manipulate the underworld so that his own tracks are obliterated at every step.  The action moves from the back streets of Amsterdam to a barge on the Zuider Zee, from an island whose inhabitants specialize in making costumed puppets, to the crypt of a missionary sect's church. Not until the very last minute is the master-puppeteer revealed--and by then he is in possession of a puppet of such value and beauty that it taxes all Sherman's ingenuity and courage to prevent this one, too, from swinging on a grisly chain...

<p>From the dead constellation of Andromeda flashed continuously a long and intensely complicated message. Picked up during the testing of the world's most powerful radio-telescope, it proved to be a blueprint of a computer so advanced that it made all earth-built computers seem like children's counting beads and even produced a thinking, living human-being to interpret its needs. Could this be part of a fantastic plan to take over the earth?</p>

<p>Travis McGee's old football buddy Tush Bannon is resisting pressure to sell off his floundering motel and marina to a group of influential movers and shakers. Then he's found dead. For a big man, Tush was a pussycat: devoted to his wife and three kids and always optimistic about his business-even when things were at their worst. So even though his death is ruled a suicide, McGee suspects murder . . . and a vile conspiracy.</p>
