To habitues of the nation's top racetracks he's known as "The Bland
Buddha of the Bangtail Circuit." Less polite players of the ponies
call him a tout or a bookie. There's no doubt that Mr. Joe Maddox
is a shrewd judge of horseflesh, but he's also a shrewd judge of
men. And that's a critically important quality to possess, because
Mr. Maddox repeatedly finds himself pitted against crooks and
killers whose depredations are linked in some way to the racing
game. Assisted by his sidekick Oscar, the heavyset handicapper has
always managed to beat the odds, but sooner or later his luck is
bound to change.... The work of prolific pulpster T.T. Flynn, 35
Mr. Maddox novelettes were published in the pages of Dime Detective
between 1938 and 1950. Fast-moving and suffused with authentic
racing atmosphere, they were among the most popular stories ever to
appear in this prestigious crime pulp, second only to the legendary
Black Mask in its impact on the genre.
