Two Complete Detective Books eBook
July 1947

Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.

As the magazine title promised, each issue of this pulp contained two complete and unedited detective novels. Fiction House publishers, through their Real Adventures Publishing imprint, bought up the reprint rights to detective books that had already seen publication in hardback book form, a practice which allowed them to obtain the previously-printed books much cheaper. Radio's famous "Mr. and Mrs. North" detective series began as a series of print books, six of which appeared in the Two Complete Detective Books magazine. The first of Two Complete Detective Books was released in the Winter 1939 issue. Two complete books for a quarter was quite a bargain, and the magazine was popular with customers. It lasted for 76 issue, and printed the final magazine in its run with the Spring 1954 issue. Two Complete Detective Books returns in vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Murder Rents A Room

By Sara Elizabeth Mason

He came, tall, thin and burning-eyed. He stepped into the graceful old plantation, looking like Death itself. And, like Death, he found the stage already set — suspicion and greed and hate creeping closer, ever closer to the shabby surface. For each, had at least one death behind him or her, grinning at the elbow... Kate Frazier, proudly nursing a stony heart — Jeff Gaines, bitterly drinking his life away — Uncle Brock Curtis, gnawed by a secret dread — Lucy Allen, the vengeful spinster — Leigh and Alicia Randall, bound in galling wedlock — and Kitty Bolling, that beautiful package of spite and malice. They all turned coldly narrowed eyes on the stranger, Alex Dexter, waiting, wondering at his coming. Suddenly, as if in panic, Death lashed out. And then forbidden ghosts began to walk...

The Velvet Well

By John Gearon

Through the biggest city of a free country, Jacques Deran fled for his life. With him fled his sweet little American wife, Martha. Who could believe that a beaten monster could so quickly revive and reach around the world to fling a damping corpse at Jacques’ feet? Who could believe that Jacques and his girl-wife fought so utterly alone against clever, evil ones who forever scheme to seize the world? Who could believe that they could muster — now in a teeming hotel — now in a gay amusement park — such a suddenly overwhelming concentration of force that could beat a man down and then fade slimily away, undetected? No one could believe such things! Even Martha, beset by terror, could doubt them. And so, for Jacques, it all grew more and more unreal, nightmarish, like falling helplessly down a velvet well...

Good old mysteries	January 24, 2026
Reviewer: Bruno Di Giandomenico from Torino, Torino Italy

A solid old fashioned mystery magazine, as they don't write anymore. The first tale is about a southern girl, a widow returning from New York to a plantation with a lot of difficulties. A difficult family with a rich past, and murders. Quite good, although some part (the dealing with the coloured people) are very very old, as I said, a tale of its time.
The second is not a detective story, but a spy story, after WWII, a bit confused, with some deaths, a lot of strange characters, ex nazis, and a mistery surrounding a confused man. Doesn’t deserve much, especially today. The first is a four, but the second barely 3.
