Amazing Detective Mystery Stories (UK)

Mike Cook, in MYSTERY, DETECTIVE, AND ESPIONAGE MAGAZINES, says one issue is known of this pulp magazine, but provides no details of it and no copy has been located. It seems likely that this was a misreading for the 1950 {Mystery Stories} which carried a banner heading of "Amazing Detective Mystery".
