A collection of detective-mystery fiction, from magazines (American, Mystery, Strand, Colliers, Cosmo, SEP, Detective Story, Blue Book, Liberty, Esquire, New Yorker, Weird Tales) by top ranking writers and a few second raters. Includes good criticism of whodunits by Raymond Chandler, and all in all, if not prime cuts, suitable second choices. Filler-in on full length merchandise.
