The word may be getting out that Day Keene, author of those great noir novels of the 40s and 50s, also wrote a lot of stories for the pulps -- and that John Pelan and Ramble House are bringing all of them back for re-reading. Many of these stories were written during WWII and you can tell emotions are burning. Here are the stories in this fifth volume of the series: A Corpse Walks in Brooklyn-Detective Tales, October 1945 The Stars Say Die -Detective Tales November 1941 Herr Yama from Yokohoma-Ace G-Man February 1943 Seven Keys to Murder-Dime Mystery, September 1944 I'll Be Seeing You-Dime Mystery, November 1946 Three Dead Mice-Flynn's, March 1944 A Corpse for Cinderella-Dime Mystery May 1945 Claws of the Hell Cat-Dime Mystery, January 1946
You never can tell what a big, tough Polish boy will do when he finds a nude blonde in his bathroom. Especially if he is a heavyweight fighter who was born back of the yards, is married to a million dollars, and has a psychiatric record. He might do a number of things. He might tell her to get out. He might yell for his wife. He might blow what's left of his top. He might even do what Barney Mandell did, come to his addled senses... Originally published in 1951.
This is the second collection in the Day Keene in the Detective Pulps Series, edited by John Pelan and Fender Tucker and introduced by Ed Gorman.
