Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
Double Detective, the self-described two-in-one magazine, offered a complete book-length mystery novel as well as a full magazine's worth of short stories and novelets. For the mystery and action lover, this magazine pubished by the Frank A. Munsey Company, gave readers hard-hitting thrills and gritty action. The first issue of Double Detective was published with a cover date of November 1937. With the April 1940 issue, the magazine began featuring an adventure of The Green Lama as its novel. This continued for thirteen issues until the magazine was sold after publishing the October 1941 issue. In August 1942 the magazine returned under the new title of Love-Crime Detective. The magazine continued for five issues under this new title until the December 1942 issue. The magazine was then restarted under its original title of Double Detective in March 1943 with a new Green Lama story. It lasted for just that single issue, then folded for good. Double Detective returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Song Of Hate
by Cleve F. Adams
It began at a strip-tease show, with an “artist” who knew her way around a stage but who couldn’t get around a murderer. It ended when Detective Bill Rock stripped the sheep’s clothing from a wolf — and he wasn’t teasing, either. Gals, gorillas, grafters and goofs in a crime adventure so full of fight that it’ll have you hanging onto the arms of your chair before the end of the first round. The second Double Detective novel by the author whose return engagement was demanded by readers of This Is Murder.
