This volume collects 21 stories featuring Detective O'Malley from the pages of Collier's. They date from 1930 through the early 1940s. William MacHarg's title character is a lot of fun and sure to appeal to fans of classic puzzle mysteries. Of the series (which numbers about 80 stories), Mike Grost wrote: "The brief tales are heavily plot oriented. Some of them have mystery puzzle plots, in others the killer's identity is simply found through police work. O'Malley puts great emphasis on coming up with ingenious ideas to make the killer confess, or make a damaging admission of guilt; the stories contain numerous gimmicks of this type." Included are: The Green Paint The Ring The Sleeptalker Fingerprints The Fourth Degree In A Mirror The Wrong Hat Soiled Diamonds The Locked Door The High Bridge Too Many Enemies No Fingerprints Too Many Miles Three Bullets The Mind Reader Through The Cabin Window Spilled Perfume Help From Uncle Sam Mrs. Walder's Diamonds City Wise Deceiving Clothes If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 400+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction—and much, much more!
We love ghost stories here at Wildside Press—witness the fact that we have now now reached our eighth volume in this series. Very few other genres are so versatile and enduring as tales of the supernatural. Ghosts can (and have) appeared in literature for thousands of years, in all countries and continents (and times past, present, and future) throughout the world. But the Victorian era particularly seemed to embrace ghost stories, and that’s when Christmas ghost tales became not just a staple of literature, but a requirement. Seemingly all British fiction magazines (and many newspapers) had to publish at least one ghostly tale in the month of December. Proving that the ghost story tradition is strong to the present day, we have an original story from Phyllis Ann Karr (author of the Frostflower and Thorn series), plus two drawn from Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine (which strayed a little more into the fantastic and horrific in the 1960s that it does today), plus another modern story by Wallace West, who is best known as a science fiction writer. Good stuff.
