OFFICIAL DETECTIVE OMNIBUS

by Harry- Ed. Keller ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 17, 1948

From the files of the leading fact detective magazine, Official Detective Stories, this collection of contemporary crime, actual and authentic save for the substitution of names and locales. Of a blind man's death under a subway train; of the sordid love killing in an Indiana canyon; of a chopper gang's robbery of a jewel store; of a proxy poisoning and a numbers racket; of Philadelphia's castration crimes; of the Indianapolis heisters who used a hearse as a getaway car; of a telephone killer's identification; of New York's recent camera- shotgun subway shooting; of the confessions of a gun moll, etc. etc. These and others provide some fairly sensational, sanguinary true crime records, closer to the tabloid than the classical.
