American Detective Novels (about)
Little is known about this publication, which is assumed to be a companion to American Detective Magazine. At least three of the issues contained multiple stories, but for the other issues identified to date only the lead novella is known and may comprise the total contents of the issue. Other undated examples are believed to include Bullets for Sale by E. Hamilton Clay, Singing Death by Gordon Alexander, and Bullets for Blondes by Steve Hawk.
