The Defective Detective in the Pulps
Edited by Gary Hoppenstand and Ray B. BrownePopular Press
The world of the defective detective was a strange one. Continuing the motif of the mythological hero, this unique detective type emerged in the 1930s in a very imperfect and threatened society. The stories reprinted in this volume reveal just how widely the genre ranged during the Depression.
