Cover art by Joe Servello. keywords: Mystery Pulp. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Robert Leslie Bellem was among the most prolific of the legion of pulp writers, with a reputed 3, 000 stories to his credit. Hundreds of these chronicle the ribald, wacky adventures of ‘private skulk' Dan Turner, who was so popular in the ‘30's and early 40's that he was given his own magazine, Dan Turner, Hollywood Detective, in 1942. Humorist S. J. Perelman, in a New Yorker essay devoted to Turner's Spicy Detective exploits, called him ‘the apotheosis of all private detectives. out of Ma Barker by Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade. ' Bellem chose not to feature Dan Turner in any of his handful of novels. But he did create another tough, wisecracking private eye who resembles Turner enough to be his brother-Duke Pizzatello, hero of BLUE MURDER. Originally published by Phoenix Press in 1938, BLUE MURDER is a wild and woolly yarn guaranteed to please any fan of Bellem and Turner. Rough-and-tumble action and willing wenches abound in Duke Pizzatello's hunt for a sadistic killer. And so does Bellem's trademark-the slangy, campy style that distinguishes the Dan Turner stories: ‘I aimed my own roscoe from the hip. It said: ‘Chow-chow! ' and belched two slugs through Mason's right leg. The slugs kicked his gain from under him, and he spun around and sat down on the floor and got a silly look on his hard-boiled pan. inventory #22863.
