For more than 20 years, detectives, villains, murderers and femme fatales found a home in the pages of Thrilling Detective and Popular Detective, two of the many "Thrilling" publications produced by Ned Pines. This edition collects three classically pulpy homicidal novellas from the golden age of the pulps: Double Murder, Murder's Mandate, Murder Trap, plus a bonus hard-boiled short story, Shed No Tears For Me.
