Riddle in the Rain and Other Cases for Dan Turner, P.I. (Illustrated): Nine Speed Detective Stories

by Robert Leslie Bellem

• This eBook is illustrated with 22 drawings from the original publication of the stories in “Speed Detective” magazine.
Before Dan Turner had his own magazine, a number of his stories were published in “Speed Detective” and “Spicy Detective."
“Riddle in the Rain and Other Cases for Dan Turner P.I.” includes nine Dan Turner stories published in “Speed Detective” between 1943 and 1946.
All stories are written in the first person with the fast action and hard-boiled style for which Bellem became famous. And, although less laced with sex than the “spicy” stories, they are proof of why Dan Turner came to be one of the most popular characters of pulp mystery/detective fiction.
