For the first time in one collection, all five of Ravenwood's
adventures have been collected in one volume, as written by one of
the greats of the pulp era, Frederick C. Davis. Also features an
all-new introduction by Will Murray.
Big-city residents on both sides of the law regard him with equal
measures of fear and reticence. They know that whatever they're
doing, right or wrong, will sooner or later come to the attention
of Guy "Keyhole" Kerry, a wise-cracking, hard-charging journalist
who knows all and tells most of it. Kerry's profession brings him
into contact with all kinds of people, and the law of averages
guarantees that some of them are better left alone. But Keyhole
Kerry will risk anything for a scoop, even if it means becoming
embroiled in murder mysteries and making himself a target. This
relatively brief series (eight late Thirties entries) was written
for Dime Detective by Frederick C. Davis, a tireless pulp scribe
who sold more yarns to the magazine-73 in all-than any other
contributor save T.T. Flynn. With a half-dozen recurring characters
in this one rough-paper periodical, Davis was one of the many
talented contributors who made Dime Detective a prestigious crime
pulp second only to the legendary Black Mask in its impact on the
genre.
Dime Detective Magazine was second only to Black Mask as the dean
of detective/P.I./hard-boiled pulp magazines, and was the home of
Carroll John Daly, Frederick Nebel, John D. MacDonald, Cornell
Woolrich, Erle Stanley Gardner, and many other top-notch scribes.
This book indexes all 274 issues of Dime Detective, contains
several articles on the series and its writers, and as a bonus, the
fifth anniversary round-robin story from the November 1936 issue,
"The Tongueless Men," by William E. Barrett, Carroll John Daly,
Frederick C. Davis, T.T. Flynn, and John Lawrence.
