"I'd do anything to get him. I'd lie, bribe, cheat, steal, I'd become a whore!"That girl's threat provided only one of the many strange aspects of the far-flung Menke Enterprises. Don Paulson, trouble-shooting "Man Friday" for the fabulous Ray Menke, soon uncovered some of the other sides of his business--including a mysterious trade in sudden death!It began when an eccentric old man used his last gasp of life to scratch a weird message to whoever found his body. Don was the finder. And when he then allowed a will-o'-the-wisp girl to lead him to a mysterious tryst, he found himself slated to become Menke's DEAD MAN FRIDAY.J. F. Hutton's skillfully handled thriller tears away the mask from a slick-surfaced setup to reveal a startling and danger-laden swamp of deceit and murder. DEAD MAN FRIDAY is a top-notch mystery novel!

The Cambodian guide refused to proceed farther. "There are things deep in the jungle, my lord," he protested, "that no man may look upon and live." "What, for example?" demanded King. "The ghosts of my ancestors," answered the Cambodian, "--the Khmers who dwelt here in great cities ages ago. Within the dark shadows of the jungle the ruins of their cities still stand, and down the dark aisles of the forest pass the ancient kings and warriors, and little sad-faced queens on ghostly elephants. We might escape the tigers and wild elephants, but none may look upon the ghosts of the Khmers, and live." Impatient of the Cambodian's fears, Gordon King left him and set out into the jungle alone. It was not long before King actually did come upon a vast vine-grown ruin of an ancient city. He was hopelessly lost and he spent the next seven days in desperate wandering. Then one day when fever was making him dizzy, he saw far down a jungle aisle and elephant preceded and followed by marching warriors in brazen armor. NOTE: The text used in this book is the original magazine text.

Here is Tarzan penetrating a strange land in Africa from which no traveler has ever returned. Natives have told of hills that rise out of a huge void where the great plateau ceases. They have told of white men in armour who have emerged from the abyss to carry off natives into slavery. The roar of life rumbles upward through the canyon like distant thunder. It is toward this land that Erich von Harben, archaeologist, ventures with a party of natives. The natives come back inarticulate with horror, but there is no trace of Von Harben. Then Tarzan sets out alone to hunt for him, moving silently into the jungle. He goes to penetrate the mystery of the Lost Empire, and finds himself fighting for life amid the love, war and intrigue of a forgotten Roman Province. Long available only with censored text, ERBville Press is proud to present the original First Edition book version of this novel in the Tarzan Series.
Here is another thrilling novel related by that ingenious mystery writer Harry Stephen Keeler in collaboration with his wife Hazel Goodwin. The story fairly bristles with excitement and suspense throughout. Why did the murderer of Nels Pederson amputate his legs and sew them back with silver wire, transposed? How was a book on cats the key to an escape from prison? Why was a literary manuscript sent to Rudolph Uberhulf, a convict who could scarcely read or write? These, and many similar problems make this an all-absorbing novel.
SMUGGLED GUNS AND ILLICIT LOVE ON RED CHINA'S PIRATE COAST! In Bangkok, where the lush East and the West meet with a jarring impact, Rocky Forbes found himself in a tight spot. He had been swindled by the cunning Fatto Kolski too often not to know that greasy scoundrel's villainy. Yet Kolski's latest offer was one Forbes had to accept or starve. The take was big: a fortune in guns and ammo meant for the Nationalist guerrillas of Red China. The obstacles seemingly minor: only a beautiful American girl and an idealistic young missionary. So Rocky took the chance ... and found himself on a one-way double-cross journey from the jungle waters of Siam to the pirate-infested Bay of Tongking.
Jimmie Kentland, reporter on the "Chicago Sun", was not too happy even though he saw "subbing" for the Night City Editor. Things hadn't been breaking right. Suddenly his eye lighted on an illiterate note lying on the desk. He read it, then dashed out--"Number 1700, Crilly Court", he shouted to the taxi driver, "and step on it." Thud--the taxi stopped suddenly. Kentland knew by the sound and feel that a human body had been hit. In the street lay a dark young woman motionless. "To the hospital, quick," ordered Kentland. He took one long, lingering look at the young woman, the kind that wants to remember something--and then started once again in the taxi for Number 1700 Crilly Court. It was an Oriental antique shop--mysterious looking, silent. Kentland opened the door. "Am I too late?" as he saw the proprietor stretched out on the floor and pinned with a dagger which had hung on the wall of the shop. As he looked around the place he saw a picture entitled "The Man from Saturn"--and the face had been cut out. It was the long arm of a curious little clue that eventually led Kentland to the secret power that had brought death to the curio dealer and revealed to Kentland something that eventually cleared up a lot of other things, particularly something about a beautiful, dark, young woman who had been taken to a hospital and almost forgotten.
