Two Complete Detective Books eBook
March 1949
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.

Nightmare
By Edward S. Aarons
At first he thought of himself as an “innocent bystander,” the poor guy who catches the slug the law was throwing at crime, or vice versa. Only, Arnold Bayless caught more than a slug and a free ambulance ride. Instead, he got a quick bump on the wig and came to with a murder rap. Then they really began to shove him around; interested parties kidnapped him from the police, making the rap solid. Nolly’s friends kept rescuing him, but the pressure kept mounting — until Nolly saw he’d been promoted to the “fall guy” class — and the next label could be “dead man.” He’d better do something! And so, with gunflame lighting his trail, Nolly began stalking the city’s rat-runs, in a grim quest for the “pal” who was trying to buy him an electric chair.
Seller Of Souls
By J.F. Hutton
Don Paulson decided there was something too sleek about Menke Enterprises. Ray Menke, who had hired the war-hardened Don as his ace trouble-shooter, was getting his fingers into too many other men’s pies. The sudden, ghastly murder of the old curio-dealer trained the police spotlight on Don, and Don, noting how nice he fit the frame, went into action. Ducking the clubbed revolver, the glinting knife, the whining bullet, he probed for cause and motive — slowly but surely laying bare a past that not only the distinguished Ray Menke but others wanted buried. But someone else was at work, and not with shovel and pencil, either. Almost too late, Don discovered the plan. For each grisly corpse told a chapter in an unspeakable history — and Don himself was to be the final installment!
