In combination with the launch of The New Destroyer, brand-new novels continuing this bestselling, action-packed series, Forge is publishing this omnibus of three of the definitive Destroyer novels. Hand-picked by co-creator and co-author Warren Murphy, these three novels serve as both a revisit to the golden age of the series and a great introduction to what Remo Williams and his Sinanju master, Chiun, have been up to for the past thirty years. Included are:

The Destroyer: Chinese Puzzle

The US President calls upon the service of Remo and Chiun to smash an Asian...

A withdrawn widow of a once-famous animal activist comes forward with a $2 million claim, saying her furry-friendly husband has been dead for eight years. With an ocean-themed investment drying up his coffers, Trace sets out to find out if she's batty or if the husband flew the coop. But things get tricky when a gorilla-sized housekeeper gives Trace the strong-arm and a bored housewife tries to slither her way into his bed. Can Trace get out of this zoo alive?

It's trouble in paradise when a mafioso hires Trace to tail his wayward wife, who's run off and joined a crazed sex cult. As the case involving the gangster's gal turns deadly and two cantankerous cops are chomping at the bit, Chico threatens to leave for good. With all the loose ends splitting apart, Trace must track the deadly string across New York City before the bodies start piling up.

A daredevil actor known for dangerous antics--onscreen and off--holds a whopping $5 million policy and Garrison Fidelity isn't taking any chances. For the first time in his career, Trace is hired to prevent a claim from happening--at twice his usual fee. Gone from gumshoe to guard dog, Trace must endure the antics of the apish actor on set. When a dead body turns up and set pieces start falling down, Trace realizes his double fee comes with a dangerous price of its own.

Devlin Tracy is a very good insurance investigator in a profession that rewards success. He lives in a luxury condo on the Las Vegas Strip and only works when he feels like it. He also drinks vodka by the pint, cracks wise to damn-near everyone, and has what can charitably be described as a complicated relationship with his girlfriend. None of that matters to the Garrison Fidelity Insurance Company. They're interested in results. Which is why they keep Trace on retainer.

Problem: A patient at a private clinic died, shortly after making his doctor the beneficiary of his...

Devlin Tracy is a private investigator specializing in insurance fraud; the bigger the fraud, the bigger his payday. This time, the action is in Las Vegas, and he's playing for seven-figure stakes. It's a complicated job, but that's why they wanted Trace.

Problem: One of Garrison Fidelity's policyholders has been killed, and a million dollars worth of jewels have gone missing. Complication: They're missing from the safe of an often-topless contessa whose poolside entourage includes a bogus baron, a drug-dealing playboy, an up-and-coming starlet with pure animal magnetism, a...

Devlin Tracy is an insurance fraud investigator, and a good one. The pay's great, he lives in swingin' Las Vegas, and only has to work when he feels like it. Taking on a New York-based case for Garrison Fidelity isn't something Trace particularly feels like...until his mother comes to town. Suddenly the Big Apple sounds much more appetizing.

Problem: A policyholder's been found by the roadside with Quaaludes in his bloodstream, a rubber Nixon mask on his face, and a bullet through his heart. The police have no suspects, no motive, and no leads. Complication: The victim's...

Thomas Collins is a commercial real estate agent with an insatiable sexual appetite. He'd do unspeakable things with a snake, a friend confides, if only he could get that low. Normally, that'd just be Mrs. Collins's business, but Mr. Collins is a policyholder of the Garrison Fidelity Insurance Company. A policyholder who seems to have disappeared.

San Francisco, 1985. The Mission was run-down, bean sprouts were a punchline, and Devlin "Trace" Tracy was on vacation. Until Groucho called and actually said "please." Being an insurance investigator on retainer means making...
