Description
"In the Pulps – 26 Short Stories" is a compilation of most of the short stories written by Rex Stout and originally published in the Pulps in the early 20th Century. Although these stories are not all mysteries, they all are suspenseful and very enjoyable. They already show the creative mind that devised later so many complex plots as well as Stout’s gift for creating characters with a few quick strokes.
