Phantoms In Bronze

To kick off The Summer Of Bronze, Altus Press released the thick volume, "Phantoms In Bronze" a while back, featuring four Phantom Detective novels by Laurence Donovan. Donovan, a ghost writer for Lester Dent had been turning out some descent Doc Savage novels when he moved over to the Thrilling line to write Phantom Detective novels. Four of those novels that appeared in 1941 & '42 were filled with Doc Savage type adventures. The Thousand Island Murders, Death Over Puget Sound, Murder Moon Over Miami, and Streamlined Murder are the tales in this big volume. Will Murray writes a very interesting Introduction for the book, and at 632 pages, it's well worth the price. Available from Altus Press and Amazon.com
