About

Step into the madcap, murder-filled world of Craig Rice, the first woman ever to grace the cover of Time magazine as a mystery writer-and one of the most original voices of America's Golden Age of crime fiction.

This illustrated five-novel collection brings together some of Rice's most memorable works, blending sharp-witted humor, screwball situations, and classic whodunit suspense. Featuring the wisecracking Chicago lawyer John J. Malone, the flashy duo Bingo Riggs and Handsome Kusak, and a parade of eccentric criminals and victims, these stories deliver mystery with a twist-and a wink.
Includes:
The Lucky Stiff – A cocktail of murder and mayhem featuring Malone and his unpredictable partners in crime-solving.

The Fourth Postman – A bizarre murder mystery with postal confusion, locked rooms, and dark secrets.

The Sunday Pigeon Murders – Hollywood scams turn deadly in this zany caper with Bingo and Handsome.

Crime on My Hands – A Hollywood-set mystery featuring private eye Mike Shayne in a tangle of studio intrigue.

Innocent Bystander – A reluctant hero gets dragged into murder, lies, and a desperate race to prove his innocence.

With fast-paced plots, sparkling dialogue, and unforgettable characters, The Classic Collection of Craig Rice is a must-have for fans of vintage crime fiction and unconventional detectives.
