Stories by Peter Paige, John Whiting, H.H. Stinson and D.L. Champion. Featuring a suspense-packed full-length murder mystery. What -- no corpus delicti? Let's take a look for..."The Little Corpse Who Wasn't There" (cover story) by Peter Paige - Freddie Quick was used to attention. Beautiful girls using nails, teeth and elbows just to get close enough to grab a bit of darling Freddie's coat -- that was nothing. But a beautiful girl sending telegrams from her year-old grave to avenge her own murder -- that was something else. Obviously a case for that diminutive but deadly dick, Cash Wale. Plus three exciting novelettes of crime detection. When you say, "Slay it with flowers," remember..."Death Sends Orchids" by John Whiting - Gertrude Eisen had what it takes...her admirers showered her with tokens of undying affection -- everything from black orchids to lines from the immortal Bard. Yes, Gertrude brought out the wolf in a lot of males. But one of them whistled too hard - he huffed and he puffed and he blew her life out! Also: Tired of humdrum routine? Come on out to..."Rancho El Maniac" by H.H. Stinson - Sam Lynch thought he was prepared for anything, but the mess he found surpassed his wildest nightmares -- and gave him some dandy ideas for new ones. A family so batty it should have been haunting belfries, a murderer whose technique was to hammer his victims to a fine pulp, and an artist whose masterpiece was a green and purple leg of lamb with a yellow garter on it -- it was enough to make any sleuth go silly. And: Beware -- mad dog! The two-legged variety, but he's..."A Hound for Murder" by D.L. Champion - At the risk of hydrophobia, septicemia and amebic dysentery, Mariano Mercado dropped his battle with bacteria to solve the case of the missing millionaire. Mercado, who became faint at the sight of dirt, faced the murderer's gun without a quaver. But it was a germ, after all, that finally told him off. Cover price $0.15.
