Bailbondsman William “Bail-Bond” Dodd was the first series character that hard-boiled genius Norbert Davis created for Harry Steeger’s best detective pulp. Running for eight installments, this unique series was one of the best Davis ever wrote for the pages of Dime Detective, the prestigious crime pulp second only to the legendary Black Mask in its impact on the genre.
As a bonus, this edition also includes the first story that Davis wrote for Dime Detective: “The Gin Monkey.”
The Complete Cases of Bail-Bond Dodd, Volume 1 (The Dime Detective Library) by Norbert Davis contains the following stories:
- “Murder Down Deep”
- “Murder in the Red”
- “This Will Kill You!”
- “Come Up and Kill Me Some Time”
- “The Gin Monkey”

These stories were all entertaining and excellently written, just as you would expect from Norbert Davis. Highly recommended, especially to those enjoying the Doan & Carstairs series of mysteries. I can’t wait for Volume 2 to be published.
