Murder on the tropic / by Downing, Todd,1902-1974.; Evans, Curtis J.,1965-writer of introduction(CARDINAL)663046;
"In Mexico yellow marigolds represent Death. At Hacienda Flores, a relic of pre-revolutionary days splendidly isolated near the Tropic of Cancer in the mountains of Nuevo Leon, the "yellow death" of which they whisper is not something that is merely figurative, however-no, it is all too real! On hand at the request of one of the members of a Texas business consortium that has invested in Hacienda Flores (it was said, erroneously, that the Pan-American highway would be constructed nearby) is U.S. Customs Service agent (and amateur detective) Hugh Rennert. Once again Rennert becomes tasked in Mexico with foiling a multiple murderer's malign machinations. Rennert's task is considerably complicated by the hurricane that is moving relentlessly toward Hacienda Flores. You won't soon forget the dramatic final duel between Rennert and his death-dealing quarry"--Page 4 of cover.

Night over Mexico / by Downing, Todd,1902-1974,author.; Evans, Curtis J.,1965-writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)663046;
Indexed in the Native American Artists Resource Collection Online, Billie Jane Baguley Library and Archives, Heard Museum, Phoenix, Arizona, at the artist name level (April 5, 2024)"Hugh Rennert, now retired from the U.S. customs service and cultivating a citrus grove in Cameron County, Texas, again finds himself south of the border, motoring through the mountains to Victoria to settle a legal dispute with the Mexican owners of a tract of land bordering his own. Stranded by the chipi chipi-an endless drizzling, enervating rain-and the landslide that it produces, Rennert seeks shelter--along with the ten other people who have preceded him--in a providentially located ranch house. At least the ranch house, "a square, one-storied, fortresslike house of adobe roofed with tiles," seems providentially located-until the people stranded there start dying!"--Page 4 of cover.

The case of the unconquered sisters / by Downing, Todd,1902-1974.; Evans, Curtis J.,1965-writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)663046;
"Sisters Lucy and Monica Faudree live with their winsome niece Cornell in an elegant old classical revival house by the black lava fields of Mexico's Pedregal. Seven decades ago their grandfather, Tindall Faudree, a former Confederate military officer, forever abandoned the United States for Mexico ("Unconquered" is the family motto). Now his descendants are hosting an archaeological group from an American university, while it conducts an expedition in the Pedregral. Unfortunately another guest turns up uninvited at the Faudree mansion: Death! Who sent the threatening letters with the bizarre drawings to the late, unlamented Professor Voice? Why did all those owls (tecolotes) descend on the Faudree house? Will there be another murder? You probably know the answer to that last question already! U.S. Customs Service agent (and amateur detective) Hugh Rennert again is on hand to show Death to the door"--Page 4 of cover.

The cat screams : a Hugh Rennert mystery / by Downing, Todd,1902-1974,author.; Evans, Curtis J.,1965-author of introduction.(CARDINAL)663046; Cox, James H.(James Howard),1968-author of afterword.;
"When Mura the Siamese cat screams, Death is sure to strike! At Madame Fournier's quarantined pension in Taxco, Mexico's fabled "silver city," Death remorselessly stalks new prey. Among these confined guests--the actress on the run, the playboy in pursuit, the disagreeable newspaper columnist, the New York artist, the archaeology professor, the enigmatic matron and the highly discreet gentleman from Dallas, Texas--who will live and who will die? Can Hugh Rennert, U.S. Customs Service agent and something of an amateur detective, unmask a murderer and end a deadly rampage? Are the killings really the work of a Nagual, a human who can take animal form? Why won't the Mexican house servants, Esteban, Marie and Micaela, tell what they know?"--Page 4 of cover.

Murder on tour / by Downing, Todd,1902-1974,author.; Evans, Curtis J.,1965-author of introduction.(CARDINAL)663046;
"U. S. Customs Agent John Payne was hot on the trail of the party he suspected of smuggling Mexican antiquities across the Texas border into the United States. Too hot on the trail to be left alive! On October 27, 1933, Payne was found dead, strangled, in his San Antonio hotel room. Three days after the discovery of Payne's savagely slain body, senior Customs Agent Hugh Rennert is in Mexico City to join the thirteen members of the Inter-American Tours party, late of San Antonio. Rennert is hunting for Payne's calculating and callous killer. The party of American tourists seeing the sights around Mexico City initially seems innocuous enough, yet in actuality Murder travels masked among them, patiently waiting, as the macabre Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) approaches, for the opportunity to strike again. Who will be the next to die by violence, before Hugh Rennert finally cracks the case and corners his quarry? First published in 1933, Murder on Tour is the first in Todd Downing's acclaimed series of seven Hugh Rennert detective novels"--Page 4 of cover.

The last trumpet / by Downing, Todd,1902-1974.; Evans, Curtis J.,1965-(CARDINAL)663046;
"The sounding of the last trumpet in the bullring that shimmering hot day in Matamoras, Mexico was meant to signal the kill of the bull by the bullfighter. Instead it was the bullfighter, Carlos Campos, who violently died, horrifically gored by the bull. But Carlos Campos' death was not a mere matter of chance-it was deliberately devised by a malign human hand! Carlos Campos was not, it seems, the first of the murderer's victims. Nor was he to be the last. Hugh Rennert, retired U. S. Customs Service agent turned Cameron County, Texas citrus farmer (and still something of an amateur detective), believes a serial killer is on the loose in the borderlands. What is the murderer's motive for these terrible slayings? And when will they ever end? Teaming up with Peter Bounty, the slick, homespun Cameron County sheriff, Hugh Rennert is again on the case, hoping to silence a serial killer's savage tune. It will be a clever reader indeed who beats Hugh Rennert to spotting the killer and the motive for the crimes, but everyone should have a grand time trying."--
