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 PaintThe RingThe SleeptalkerFingerprintsThe Fourth DegreeIn A MirrorThe Wrong HatSoiled DiamondsThe Locked DoorThe High BridgeToo Many EnemiesNo FingerprintsToo Many MilesThree BulletsThe Mind ReaderThrough The Cabin WindowSpilled PerfumeHelp From Uncle SamMrs. Walder's DiamondsCity WiseDeceiving ClothesIf you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300] volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!words : 50084Auszeichnung : isbn searched
