Talmage Powell (1920-2000) was one of the all-time great mystery writers of the pulps (and later the digest mystery magazines). He claimed to have written more than 500 short stories-most likely true, considering how many pseudonyms he used. This collection assembles 20 of his masterful crime tales from such magazines as Dime Mystery, Manhunt, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
