Rick Robinson alerted me to Roscoes in the Night here. Those of you familiar with Robert Leslie Bellem’s Dan Turner, Hollywood detective stories know what to expect: fast-paced action and scrambled jargon. These stories were first published in Spicy Detective and Hollywood Detective back in the pulp era. John Wooley provides an informative introduction with background on the author and stories included in this collection. If you’re looking for fun reading, you’ll find it here. Thanks for the recommendation, Rick!
Obviously, fun fiction like this isn’t as popular as TV with skinny girls. Oh well.
Yes, but fun fiction like this is popular with you and me, Rick. That counts for something.
