Second Talmage Powell Crime MEGAPACK (R) (ePub)

We are delighted to present our second collection of Talmage Powell mystery short stories! Powell (1920-2000) was one of the all-time great mystery writers of the pulp magazines (and later the digest mystery magazines). He claimed to have written more than 500 short stories, and we have no reason to doubt him -- we are working on a bibliography of his work and have documented 373 magazine stories so far...and who knows how many are out there under pseudonyms or buried in obscure magazines? He wrote his first novel, The Smasher, in 1959. He went on to pen 11 more novels under his own name, 4 as "e;Ellery Queen,"e; and 2 novelizations of the hit TV series Mission: Impossible. Clearly, though, short stories were his first love.Included here are 20 more of his best crime tales, including:THE VITAL ELEMENTPSYCHO-SYMPTOMSSTRANGER'S GIFTTHE WAY OUTIN THE HOUSE OF RATSTO SPARE A LIFETHE INSPIRATIONEASY MARKGATOR BAITTHE COMMUNETHE DELICATE VICTIMTRIAL RUNTHE TIP-OFFTHE ULTIMATE PREYNEW NEIGHBORTILL DEATH DO NOT US PARTHOPE CHESTTHE HOLDUPA WAY WITH A WILLTHE BEACONIf you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for "e;Wildside Press Megapack"e; to see the 240+ other entries in the series, covering mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!
