Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. “Blood on the Moon” by pulp magazine veteran Dwight V. Swain starts of this thrilling double novel. From the outside the Hideaway Club was exactly like one would expect: a sleazy joint full of crooks, criminals, and con artists. The neon lights and cheap décor tried to hide its seedy underbelly... Dwight V. Swain is back again for the second novel, “Murder for Madame.” When a married man still makes passes at the ladies, any trouble that develops should be both expected and deserved...

(1934) Georg Alexander, Camilla Horn, Gerda Maurus, Theo Lingen, Fritz Odemar, Jakob Tietke.  We never thought we’d refer to an Edgar Wallace film as being “delightful,” but this one most assuredly is.  Yet it’s got all the usual Wallace crime trappings with sinister characters and plot twists.  Camilla Horn, as Jenny, heads to London to meet (and hopefully marry) her cousin Harry (Georg Alexander), who is also the financial adviser overseeing her fortune...

(1960) Heinz Drache, Ingrid van Bergen, Benno Sterzenbach, Ina Duscha, Ludwig Linkmann, Klaus Kinski.  Drache, who is an agent from the “Special Branch” is assigned the job of finding and catching “The Executioner,” a monstrous killer who lops the heads off his victims, then packages them up and leaves them strewn about the English countryside for unsuspecting citizens to discover...

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. Day Keene starts off this mystery combo with a whodunit gem, “Wake Up to Murder.” Jim Charters was generally a well-liked home-loving type. As a sixty-two-dollar-and-fifty-cents-a-week paralegal, he had earned a reputation of being a straight shooter. That was until he was unceremoniously pink-slipped... This double novel’s second tale is a lively thriller, “Dying Room Only” by Stewart Sterling. Broadway’s smash musical revue had a special added attraction the night Ben Pedley took it in...

(1942, Warners) Faye Emerson, Julie Bishop, Frank Wilcox, Jackie Gleason, Roland Drew.  Emerson is a struggling actress who’s almost broke and desperately needs money.  So she agrees to help three crooks in their bank robbery scheme...

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. “The House of Murders” by longtime mystery pulp magazine veteran D. L. Champion is the first story in this double novel. The Thorpe family was one of the most respectable and wealthy families in all of New York. But behind a seven-foot fence (and the pack of killer hounds that encircled it) lay the ancient house... This double novel’s second tale is a fast-moving thriller by Lawrence G. Blochmann. His novel, “Pursuit,” is about Timothy Shawn, the head of the great Shawn Detective Agency, who dangled the biggest piece of change before the sleepy eyes of Edward T. Mitchell that the former All American halfback had ever seen...

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. This double novel kicks off with a terrific Milton Ozaki tale, “The Deadly Lover.” She was just too beautiful to die! But die she did—the victim of a ruthless killer who struck by night. A killer smart enough to lure the lovely young girl to a lonely park, smart enough to strangle the life from her shapely body, smart enough to leave no traces... The second tale in this double novel is a great thriller by Robert Moore Williams, “Murder is so Final.” In the early hours of the morning, as the traffic began to pile up and humidity increased, the male citizens of St. Louis performed their usual routines. They dressed, showered and shaved, made breakfast and coffee, read the paper, and if they were lucky, kissed the Missus’ goodbye...

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. The first tale in this great double novel is “Dangerous to Know” by whodunit regular James P. Duff. Frank Heggen’s involvement in the whole deadly mix-up began harmlessly enough with a very simple automobile collision. But that little scrape changed from a ho-hum incident to a ripening case of murder with amazing speed… The second fine tale in this doubl novel is Steve Ward’s sultry thriller, “Odds Against Linda.” When Peter Conrad brought his beautiful new bride back to San Francisco, he found a most unusual reception committee waiting patiently for him. It consisted of two roughneck characters along with the long, gray, metallic gun barrels...

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. The first tale in this great double novel is “The Big Fix” by whodunit veteran Mel Colton.

There was a big payoff due—$100,000 for a crooked racing fix that only Blair Savage could collect, because the bet had been made in his name... The second tale in this double novel is Nelson S. Bond’s thundering thriller, “Death Holds the Stirrups.” Thundering down the racetrack at a breakneck speed, fresh out of apprenticeship, jockey Jerry McGhee thought he was winning his race; but as he booted the horse forward, and with the finish line in sight, his filly suddenly reared up, sending him falling not only to the ground but into a whole heap of trouble...

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic mystery-crime double novels. “Unholy Night,” a terror-filled thriller by veteran storyteller Hugh B. Cave, starts off this mystery combo. They called the looming structure on the sea cliff “Fulsom’s Folly,” and accounts pertaining to it (whispered only with dread by the local citizens) were shocking tales...This double novel’s second tale is Robert Colby’s thriller,“Kill Me a Fortune.” For Ross Elliot the summer held no promise. With his teaching duties over until fall, and a nasty breakup behind him, he found himself facing boredom, with three months of lonely time on his hands...
