Three detective novels in one magazine... that's what Triple Detective promised readers. And it didn't fail, either. Each issue offered three complete novels, or perhaps novelets would be a more accurate description, showcasing gritty detective adventures, accompanied by several short stories. The series of magazines was quite popular with readers, lasting 35 issues and running from Spring 1947 to Fall of 1955, long after many pulp magazines had folded. The magazine was published by Best Publications (aka, Standard Magazines, aka Thrilling Publications) and it gave its readers a wide variety of detective fiction that few other magazines could match. Triple Detective returns in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
