Between 1932 and 1935 Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote seven murder mystery puzzles, featuring ERB's last series character to appear in book form: Police Inspector Muldoon and his trusted biographer and sidekick, Edgar Rice Burroughs. These puzzles appeared in Rob Wagner's Script Weekly, an American west coast magazine.

The solutions were mailed in by readers and appeared in later issues. In one case, Edgar Rice Burroughs provided the solution himself.

They were all later collected into the rarity"Murder!" A Collection of Short Murder Mystery Puzzleswhich had a run of 1045 copies.
