The Egyptian Lure (Fantasy and Horror Classics‪)‬

John Carroll Daly was a popular pulp author of the early 20th century. His 'Knights of the Open Palm', published in 1923 in Black Mask magazine, is seen as founding the genre of hard-boiled detective fiction. First published in March of 1928, 'The Egyptian Lure' is one of his most enduring tales. Many crime and detective stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
