Richard Telfair - The Bloody Medallion

Published by Gold Medal (847) in January 1959. Richard Telfair was a pseudonym of Richard Jessup. Cover art by Bill Johnson.

Back cover synopsis: "My name is Montgomery Nash and I am an agent in the European section of the Department of Counter Intelligence. Most of our work is done in teams and my partner is Paul Austin.

Was Paul Austin, I should say. His battered and beaten body was found yesterday. I still can't believe it. For three years we've lived and thought as one man; we've been tortured, betrayed, starved. We've saved each other's lives many times.

Well, Paul's dead now and I have a mission - to find his killer and force him to die the ugly way my best friend did."
