Classic Pulp Cover Blurbs

We picked up a goodly pile of classic old pocket books somewhere- classic barn books, a dusty mess requiring TLC before being shelf worthy.

There's nothing like old paperbacks for great cover copy.

The Skeleton in the Clock

For twenty years it kept its blood chilling secret...then murder struck again....

Fools Die on Friday

"Get your clothes on- just enough to cover yourself, and get out of here"

The Bahamas Murder Case

DEATH KEEPS A STRANGE SECRET

The Wheel is Fixed

a crime king's stooge- until he sees an innocent girl tortured

Never Walk Alone (The Case of the Dowager's Etchings)

Trouble Trails a Wanton Woman

Slippery Hitch

Fear came into her eyes. "Then--you're a----" Horror choked her voice

The Taste of Murder (Poisonous Relations)

A marriage tainted by the devil's brew of suspicion...and death!

A Bullet For My Love

Valerie had everything but morals

Staircase 4

Who was the "round man"?

Homicide Johnny

Everyone wanted her- even the Killer




And my favorite title from the whole batch,

Alias THE DEAD by George Harmon Coxe
