I recently finished reading Hooded Detective: 6 Action Packed Pulp Detective Stories by Cliff Campbell and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The book is a collection of six gripping detective stories, all centered around the mysterious and enigmatic Hooded Detective.
Each story is filled with suspense, intrigue, and plenty of action, making it nearly impossible to put the book down. Campbell's writing style is fast-paced and engaging, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat from start to finish.
The character of the Hooded Detective is a fascinating one, with his dark past and his unwavering dedication to bringing justice to the streets. The supporting characters are equally well-developed and add depth to the overall story.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good detective story with plenty of twists and turns. Cliff Campbell has crafted a compelling collection of stories that will keep you guessing until the very end. Book Description: Evil lurks in the hearts and minds of men and many nefarious schemes are hatched by these gangsters, mob bosses and super villains. But thankfully, equally brave, talented detectives are there to track them down and thwart their twisted plans. These six stories, along with two "true fact detective shorts" were in the magazine Hooded Detective, January 1942. Are they well written? well, no, but they are fun. Here are a few of the blurbs: "They had expected spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner, but were served instead, hot lead, with a little bit of blood on the side...." "Wilson Lamb cuddled his automatic to play "Mr. Death" and fingered little Louis Engel for coffin cargo. But when he pulled the trigger, Whisper the gun-cobra from Chi spilled out of Doom's deck.." . How can you top that last sentence? - Summary by Phil chenevert
