{"product_id":"9781479406951","title":"The Second Talmage Powell Crime MEGAPACK: 25 More Classic Msytery Stories","description":"We are delighted to present our second collection of Talmage Powell mystery short stories! Powell (1920-2000) was one of the all-time great mystery writers of the pulp magazines (and later the digest mystery magazines). He claimed to have written more than 500 short stories, and we have no reason to doubt him -- we are working on a bibliography of his work and have documented 373 magazine stories so far...and who knows how many are out there under pseudonyms or buried in obscure magazines? He wrote his first novel, The Smasher, in 1959. He went on to pen 11 more novels under his own name, 4 as \"Ellery Queen,\" and 2 novelizations of the hit TV series Mission: Impossible. Clearly, though, short stories were his first love.\u003cp\u003e Included here are 20 more of his best crime tales, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e THE VITAL ELEMENT\u003cbr\u003e PSYCHO-SYMPTOMS\u003cbr\u003e STRANGER'S GIFT\u003cbr\u003e THE WAY OUT\u003cbr\u003e IN THE HOUSE OF RATS\u003cbr\u003e TO SPARE A LIFE\u003cbr\u003e THE INSPIRATION\u003cbr\u003e EASY MARK\u003cbr\u003e GATOR BAIT\u003cbr\u003e THE COMMUNE\u003cbr\u003e THE DELICATE VICTIM\u003cbr\u003e TRIAL RUN\u003cbr\u003e THE TIP-OFF\u003cbr\u003e THE ULTIMATE PREY\u003cbr\u003e NEW NEIGHBOR\u003cbr\u003e TILL DEATH DO NOT US PART\u003cbr\u003e HOPE CHEST\u003cbr\u003e THE HOLDUP\u003cbr\u003e A WAY WITH A WILL\u003cbr\u003e THE BEACON\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e If you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for \"Wildside Press Megapack\" to see the 240+ other entries in the series, covering mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wildside Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141881381104,"sku":"9781479406951","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781479406951_p0.jpg?v=1763616495","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781479406951","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
