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.
Table of Contents:
Phantom Lady
By William Irish
An orange hat one night. A stocking seam and the heel of her shoe another night. When, in heaven’s name, would they have a whole woman to fit between the two? The woman who could save a life in the death cell... the phantom lady whom Scott Henderson escorted the night his wife was murdered... the elusive, frustrating female who made up his one and only alibi?
The Clean-Up
By Joe Barry
Even the voices of the courageous were hushed in fear as they pleaded for a clean-up of their festering city. When tough Rush Henry took on the job (he never avoided a challenge) he swaggered into graft-ridden, corrupt Forest City with fingers crossed and his luck in his pocket, for the Grim Reaper was already firmly perched on his shoulder.
