    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.

    American Sleuth    (about)
    Thin digest that ran for at least 16 issues, reprinting stories from American crime pulps like Famous Detective Stories and Smashing Detective Stories. Indexing this title is complicated by the fact that multiple issues have been reported with the same issue number but with different contents.
