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.
As the magazine title promised, each issue of this pulp contained two complete and unedited detective novels. Fiction House publishers, through their Real Adventures Publishing imprint, bought up the reprint rights to detective books that had already seen publication in hardback book form, a practice which allowed them to obtain the previously-printed books much cheaper. Radio's famous "Mr. and Mrs. North" detective series began as a series of print books, six of which appeared in the Two Complete Detective Books magazine. The first of Two Complete Detective Books was released in the Winter 1939 issue. Two complete books for a quarter was quite a bargain, and the magazine was popular with customers. It lasted for 76 issue, and printed the final magazine in its run with the Spring 1954 issue. Two Complete Detective Books returns in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Death Of A Tall Man
By Frances And Richard Lockridge
Little girls should stay out of the line of fire, but that was something Pamela North had never learned to do somehow. The moan of a squad-car was really a siren-song for her... and suddenly there she was — in Lieutenant Bill Weigand’s hair again. Inspecting the corpse. Questioning witnesses. And then off on her own... trotting down filthy alleys, prowling sinister hallways, poking, peering... Small wonder it all blew up in her face — but BOOM. No matter! A call from the hospital to poor Jerry North, her distracted, despairing husband, for clothing to replace what the blast had ripped from her, and she is off again — creeping toward a darkened, fog-bound mansion where a killer has cunningly set his last and greatest blood-trap. And why must little Mrs. North set her dainty foot in this trap? She already knows the killer, but the New York Police exasperatingly refuse to act on feminine intuition. Bill wants evidence, of all things! And so Pam creeps closer and closer...
Killer In The Kitchen
By Franklin James
You wouldn’t expect Mickey Richards to be so tough, apart from the name. But the owner of the Silver Star, ultra-swank airport on the outskirts of war-time Chicago, was plenty tough. Mickey hailed from “Taixus, suh” and was no stranger either to a gun or a good old-fashioned wrassle. Which was a good thing. For the Silver Star had suddenly become the black HQ of crime and killing. Mickey, returned from the wars, plunged unwittingly into the vicious web — and immediately certain “operators” went to work on Mickey with all the deadly tools of their trade... Now what made them think Mickey was such a cinch to eliminate? Why were they so stunned when Mickey exploded into action and began eliminating them instead? How could they have been so mistaken about this grim avenger spreading panic in their ranks? How? Why? Because Mickey Richards was five feet six and 110 pounds of luscious, wide-eyed honey-blonde!
