Description
Meet Ed Race who made his trade as a vaudeville gun-juggler supreme, known on stage as “The Masked Marksman” and for handling six loaded .45s to the delight of the crowds. But when this line of work became too tedious, Race took advantage of his multi-state P.I. licenses to solve crimes across the country. This collection includes his next five stories:
- Murder Sets the Stage: Ed Race had thrilled thousands with his crack trigger work, as The Masked Marksman of Vaudeville. Yet the night he fought a desperate duel against those two professional killers, the Terror Twins, only Ed was thrilled—by the glory of his own magnificent battle against the Underworld!
- Encore With Death!: Ed Race, the Masked Marksman, had two hours in which to save a girl’s life twice, uncover and defeat the blood-thirsty plot of Manhattan’s most dangerous criminal—and reach the theatre in time for his curtain call!
- Murder—Now Showing!: Ed Race had held thousands spellbound when, as the mysterious Masked Marksman of the stage, he performed deadly magic with his matched revolvers. But on this perilous night he had no chance of taking a curtain-call, for he had to juggle a fabulous smuggled diamond, the beautiful Dolores Casey, and a gang of red-handed murder experts—with Death waiting in the wings!
- Marked Marksman’s Murder Encore: Often had Ed Race, vaudeville’s fabulous Masked Marksman, matched wits and guns with Death off-stage. But never had he been forced to try that skill and courage with a mad killer—before the eyes of a packed house!
- Miami Murder Intermission: Ed Race for once, it seemed, would not be able to open the Miami vaudeville season as the popular Masked Marksman. For he was welcomed by a dive-bombing act that blasted him into a maelstrom of murder, and obliged him to champion a young lady who had a rifle, a million bucks—and more enemies than John Dillinger!
